It never quite thickened?
It is possible you have to cook it a bit longer, every microwave is different and it may not have been strong enough. If all else fails you can also try adding more of the cornstarch by mixing with a bit of water before adding to the mixture and then microwaving again, but be careful not to add too much or it will get too thick.
Mine never reached pudding consistency in the microwave. I’m not sure what I did wrong
Yes it works well on low heat on the stove, just whisk constantly

Can this be made with ourt a microwave?
Many kosher markets or specialty stores will have it
Where can you find rose water?
You can use any type of sweetener and adjust to taste. Honey or sugar would be fine.
Is there a substitute for the date honey?
Yes, these are all vegan.
Malabi is very forgiving I have made with all kinds of milks and I am sure soy would be fine, especially this version with chocolate will mask any soy flavor.
Yes, just make sure to use ‘date honey’ and not regular (bee) honey.
I’m newly learning about vegan recipes. Do all the ingredients here qualify as vegan?
Is almond milk key in terms of flavor? Can soy milk work instead?
Sure, please feel free to cook over low heat on a stove top and whisk frequently.
This looks great, but can you please tell me of another technique to use, as I do not have a microwave oven. Thanks.
