Malva pudding is a classic South African dessert that has been around for over a hundred years. It’s a sweet, sticky dessert made from a simple recipe of flour, sugar, eggs, and milk, served with a creamy, caramel-like sauce. It's believed that the pudding gets its name from the malva flowers that grow in South Africa because of its similarity to the flower's texture. This modern twist on the traditional recipe uses a combo of boiling and baking to create a moist, flavorful dessert. It's easy to make, budget-friendly, and can easily be scaled up or down for any event.
