This is my husband's new favorite dessert.  We have been to South Africa several times, and this is the first time we had this Malva Pudding.  It was love at first bite for my husband.  He tested this new love by have the Malva Pudding several more times just to be sure. 

In South Africa, they serve the Malva Pudding with custard that comes in a box.  My husband loved the custard in a box, but unfortunately I can not find it in the stores here in my little town in New Mexico.
