Botswana- Malva Pudding

Jump to Recipe  ↓ Print Recipe  ❒

Malva Pudding  is an easy to make recipe that is found in many of the safari camps in Botswana.

It is sweet, delicious and a lovely dessert.

It is called pudding, yet has a texture similar to cake when done.

The cake like texture is surprising after adding all that sauce halfway through the cooking process, which makes it incredibly moist.
