Warbat Bel Ashta (baked)

Description

Warbat is made of crunchy layers of phyllo pastry filled with a creamy custard and baked until golden. Then Warbat is drenched in sweet sugar syrup which is sometimes flavored with rose water or orange blossom water. Finally, Warbat is topped with crushed pistachios. It is a must-try.

These desserts are especially loved during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan at dinners after long days of abstaining from food and water. They have sweet cream, or ishta, whether it’s stuffed into fresh silver-dollar pancakes or shells of puff pastry, wedged between layers of shredded pastry and cheese or semolina or just served in a dish with a drizzle of simple orange blossom syrup.
