Ever since I been watching your videos my kitchen can't stay spotlessly clean, my conclusion - it only stayed clean because I didn't cook as much as I do now 😋😋 Attitude before Refika video's -. I just cleaned the kitchen, I'm not cooking 💔 Attitude after Refika video's- I just cleaned the kitchen, what can I cook😋❤️

I’ll definitely trying the dairy free version. Thank you for being so considerate of vegan and non-vegan versions of your recipes Refika and team!

There is NOTHING you make that I don’t want to eat! As a new vegetarian I adore how you often create a vegetarian version, and hat doesn’t pretend to be something it isn’t and effortlessly features all the signature flavors of the dish. You vegetarian recipes are out of this world, and have been instrumental in my ability to stick to healthy and delicious choices. I cannot thank you and your crew enough! Say hello to your mom from all of us.👋🏼

Aoa rafika abla kindly answer my curiosity "are you muslim "

I'm lactose intolerant but this looks fantastic. I can't help thinking just a little nutmeg would take it to the next level. Thanks for the very FUN video! I vote for you to do little dances on every video!

Tried it … and it came out so well! Love following your insightful recipes! And this is the second or third recipe I’m trying (from Colombo) Thanks! I wish I could share the picture with you!

that was supereasy and delicious! I baked it in small ramequins, wich made it look superfancy. But I liked it better the next day when it was cold. I think this is the perfect dessert to make for guests in advance!

Thank you Refika 💗 I'll use almond milk, the vegan version.Hugs and kisses from Greece 💗

Thank goodness for you, Refika!! So sweet thinking of the vegan version too

Hi Mary, it's nice to see you here! I watch you too ❤️

I’m glad I discovered your channel. I gotta make this halva.

No matter what, your videos bring joy

Just made a small version of this. We are practically swooning it is so delicious. Wow!

This reminds me of a milk pudding that my Maltese grandmother used to make, flavoured with almonds and orange blossom water, so i will be making this version, i love dates.

Wow it sounds amazing! Orange blossom water is a great idea

Im laughing when I see this lovely recipe because it brings soo many childhood memories evan though my mom was the expert at making it. Beautiful desert, absolutely gorgeous. Thanks soo much rafika

wow, there is no way this is not divine! all the most decadent treasures of paradise, caramelised into golden pudding!🤯🤩you sure know how to make people happy Refika!

I love the simplicity of this, I’m going to have to try it. There is a version of this here in the southern US. It’s called banana pudding and many make it into a pie. The only difference is the dates and caramelization. Well the South also smothers it in whipping cream. 🤔

Wow this looks delicious! Will definitely try it. I have been cooking everything ‘Refika’ since I discovered your channel 3weeks ago, I might as well move to Turkey 😊 Thank you so much for sharing your talents and expertise. More power to you and your team xxx

Definitely going to try this after Easter. Thank you darling. You are just awesome. Love you.

Thank you Refika for adding the vegan version now I can make this for my daughter ❤️

I have also seen people add little bit of cinnamon, and that also makes it very nice.

I made it today and it`s awеsome! ТHank you for great recipe!

How have I lived so long without this dish in my life?! Thanks, Refika, for another 5 ⭐️ recipe! 😃☮️❤️

It is simply divine 🤩 You are very welcome!

I’ve just made it didn’t have any walnuts so added almonds instead. It’s in the fridge now can’t wait to try it. Next time I’m going to add nutmeg or cardamom to it 👌🏼😋

Oh, Refika, you are national treasure! ❤️

Thank you Refika, I received your cookbook that I ordered. I love everything about it and especially your warm wishes in the inside cover.

Thank you Refika for the vegan recipe. I'm not vegan but since I can't take milk I often end up using vegan recipes. As always I love the way you explain things so much so that we can understand WHY you make it this way. Even down to what kind of whisk! You have become my favourite chef for those reasons, also because you and your team are just are so nice I want to hug you all!! ❤🌷

Wow it looks absolutely mouth watering 😍 Best wishes from Hungary! I’ve been a great fan of your awesome recipes for a long time now ☺️

Awesome! I was under the impression that halva was a protein free sweet for the fasting season, but this is only the variations we are accustomed in Greece. In Turkey seems to have much more variations.

Yum! Yum just watching you prepare it Refika made my mouth water! This is a must try! Thank you for sharing! Love to all ❤️🌹

I just made this and it is amazing! One thing to note tho, using American tablespoon measurements will not work with this recipe. My Helva is still too gloopy even after adding more cornstarch :( And adding some cinnamon powder to the milk is a really nice combination with the banana, dates and walnuts!

I love this show and your recipes so much!

Puddings and custards are my favorite!

Loved the nod to belly dancing. I take belly dancing lessons. It is not as easy as it seems and a great work out

Oh Rafika! you are such a big bundle of positive vibes and energy. I love it when Bahar ask... why??? because it is exactly what I would ask too :P thanks Bahar :)

So simple I love it

Thanks for including a vegan version, can't wait to make this!

Simply fabulous!

Another lovely dish thank you

This looks so easy and delicious! Definitely going to try it!

you always come up with delicious twist to recipes. luv the green jacket

Thanks for this video.

It looks like a beautiful flan. Can’t wait to make it thank you for your time and energy on your channel🥰

Thank you always for the joy😉

Ohhh how good is this?? I'm making this tonight for dessert! My family will love it!!

Okay, tomorrow, I'll have to try this out! :D Can't wait

Refika, you are such a lovely bubbly person that inspires one to be positive. No wonder you have such a lovely team!!!! As for your encouragement to try your wonderful mouth watering recipes is a bonus!!!! What a gift you have!!!! 😋💚🇿🇦

I like the water on the date trick! And you read my mind about using coconut oil for the vegan version, that should pair so well with banana and date. Can't wait to see that version! Thank you for always keeping in mind food waste and compost. Your signed cookbook is proudly and prominently displayed on my bookcase (when I'm not reading your awesome intros or making the recipes), I love what you and your team do!

Thanks Darling for sharing all your nice recipes

I can’t wait to make this!

You are right. I have to make it.

That looks so delicious!

Thank you for the vegan version Refika. This would be great for a brunch 😋

I’ve made it!!! But added a little sesame seeds nd cinnamon powder… ready for a cold dessert 🍮 tomorrow in Sha Allah

Amazing! Can’t wait to try.

My friend who introduced me to you channel last year made this for me last night for dessert after we had dinner together. I got to be "the kid in the house" and lick the pot! The pudding in the pot was delicious, and so was the helva! You are the best Refika!

This looks delicious.

I'm surely going to try this. Thanks for sharing Refika. Stay blessed always ❤️

looks so yummy

KAZANDIBI !!! I thought I was the only one who loved it. As always , this recipe too looks super yummy, can't wait to make it for my family.

Oh Refika!!!!… you made my day!!

I like it that you are always emphasing in food waste. Yes, don't waste anything.

I love watching you, you make me so happy. I live alone so can only cook your food when I've friends over. Is your recipe book available in Ireland please?

omg this looks amazing 😱❤️🥰

Yummy!

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙 In sha Allah we have a blessed month and everything gets better throughout the world. This will make a nice dessert in Ramadan. Thank you 😊

Refikaa çok iyisin hem Türkçe hem İngilizce efsanesn

That brown part of the banana is the cook's treat!

Gorgeous! This looks to have a similar consistency to flan.

I am going to try this . Love u r recipes. Thxs u describe so well.💐

❤️ luv it!

Hahahaha! Love that little dance at the start of the video! You're so cute!😁

Rafika has started including healthy dishes in tune with her healthy lifestyle 🥰🥰🥰

Yummy Looking😋ohh How Nice OF you to give TO Your maam! I am very emotional in this moment! 🤗thank you, and God bless you and your family. And also your Team. 👏👏💐💐❤❤🇪🇸

Oooh, this is like a baked Melkkos, a traditional South African dish. Must try it.

Wow definitely gona try this, as I have some spare milk and bananas 😃🤗thanks Refika.. always looking forward to your recipe’s.. miss Turkey soo much … 😭

Very nice. Reminds me of the "arrowroot" pudding my Dad used to make for me as a child if I'd been ill. Had the same almost indecent wobble as the milk helva. Thank you for the recipe, going to give it a try soon.

Wow, it's like my mom's homemade banana pudding recipe on steroids! We cook the pudding part on the stove, pour over sliced bananas and stuff vanilla wafers around it. Your method of adding dates and walnuts along with carmalizing the top looks so very yummy, and much healthier than the wafers. I'll have to try it! Thank you!

Milk Helva. I am surely going to try this recipe. Refika you make it look so tasty. I also enjoy your explanations. Dates banana and walnuts sounds so delicious. Interested in the vegan version.

I’ll wait for eid to make it🔥
