Every Ramadan in Egypt brings a wave of delicious innovations, especially when it comes to iftar desserts. This year, Ramadan food enthusiasts are eagerly holding their breaths, anticipating a variety of mouth-watering sweet creations.

Wow Cake Sultana

It is a multilayered cake containing a kunafa layer, a white cream layer and two chocolate layers. The solid top layer has some holes, and a bottle of chocolate sauce is provided to be poured over the holes.  

Konafa Taro 

ARA has launched an attractive lavender-coloured konafa taro. This dessert consists of a crispy kunafa base, a pastry cream filling, and a smooth taro layer, all topped with crunchy pistachio pieces.

Sawabi3 Bibo

Building on the success of last year’s Sawabi3 Gigi, Nola has launched Sawabi3 Bibo, which is a delightful combination of goulash filo stuffed with pistachio and Lotus spread. The playful slogan “Bibo Far’a3 Gigi” features this dessert, making it a must-try. 

Rozbousa 

This year, the dessert innovation technique of Sale Sucre depended on mixing desserts, where their new Rozbousa is a luscious fusion of creamy rice pudding and rich, buttery Arabic basbousa, made with authentic ghee, topped with finely shaved almonds. 

El 5alsana

Tortina has taken dessert innovation to another level with El 5alsana, a kunafa-based treat so hard it comes with its own hammer for breaking into pieces. This dessert features a rock-hard kunafa layer stuffed with pistachio, strawberry, vanilla, and basbousa, offering a crunchy yet creamy explosion of flavours.

El Malfoufa

Another Tortina masterpiece, El Malfoufa, combines honey kunafa with condensed milk, Gianduja cream, and almond pieces, all wrapped into a deliciously rich roll.

Safayeh Dubai

Nola also has Safayeh Dubai, a unique dessert that transforms pancakes into a chocolate-filled treat. It features pancake layers stuffed with Dubai chocolate and pistachios, offering a delightful fusion of flavours and textures.
