Today I cooked a chocolate coconut cardamom mujallabijah. Mujallabijahs are very popular in the middle east, it is a kind of milk pudding, and I appreciate a lot. With chocolate and coconut milk it gives a dense texture and the cardamom does the oriental touch. It is sure that I will make this recipe again and again.
From Christmas until now I lived here with many gorgeous white Amaryllis flowers. They gave me a lot of inspiration and ideas. Specially how to use white in my pictures. And they accopagnied me on my first portrait photography steps.

Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie. Stir together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder and milk to a homogene paste.
