Preparation Method:

You can follow the steps below to easily prepare this delicious dessert at home and enjoy it.

1. Prepare the Biscuits:
   Dip the biscuits in tangerine juice to moisten them slightly. Be careful not to soak them too much to prevent them from falling apart; they should remain just moistened.

2. Prepare the Milk Mixture:
   Combine the milk, sugar, flour, and cornstarch in a pot. Mix thoroughly with a hand whisk.

   • Warm the milk slightly before adding it to the mixture.

   • Sift the flour three times before adding it to remove any lumps, ensuring a smoother texture for your dessert.

   • Gradually add the flour and cornstarch to avoid drying out the dessert mixture.

3. Cook the Mixture:
   Place the pot on the stove and stir constantly until the mixture thickens. Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from burning.

   • Once the mixture reaches the desired consistency, turn off the stove.

   • Add the vanilla and mix well. Use powdered vanilla for a richer flavor.

4. Prepare the Muhallebi (Milk Pudding):
   This cooked mixture is known as "muhallebi." Pour it over the biscuits and add a cup of tangerine juice. Allow the dish to cool separately.

5. Prepare the Tangerine Topping:
   In another pot, combine tangerine juice, cornstarch, and sugar. Mix well using a whisk. This layer will go on top of the tatlı and give it an appealing appearance.

   • Cook the mixture until it reaches the right consistency. Once cooled, add it over the prepared layers.

6. Assemble the Dessert:

   • Choose a Pyrex dish and lightly grease the bottom.

   • Layer the biscuits and muhallebi alternately. Pour the tangerine mixture over the top as the final layer.

   • Refrigerate the dessert for at least one hour to set.

7. Decorate and Serve:
   Garnish the top with slices of tangerine or orange for a visually appealing finish.

This dessert requires minimal preparation time and is perfect for enjoying with family and friends. It’s especially suitable for autumn and Yalda Night celebrations.
