Malabi
Malabi is kind of a sweet milk pudding perfumed with rose water and topped with some nuts and sweet syrup. Originally from Turkey, where they use rice flour. The Israeli version uses cornstarch, which makes the malabi more silky and light.
There are a lot possibilities regarding the topping. Different nuts can be used, as well as syrups so feel free to improvise.
