Traditional Syrian dessert
Halawet el-jibn (Arabic: حلاوة الجبن / Ḥalāwat al-jibn) (cheese sweet) is a Syrian dessert made of a semolina and cheese dough, filled with cream.[1] Its origin is from Homs in Syria, by the Homsi family.[2] It is found in other regions in the Middle East, and has been brought by Syrian immigrants to other countries such as Turkey and Germany.[3][4][5][6]
This dessert is primarily made of a cheese dough (containing Akkawi cheese, mozzarella, or some mix of cheeses), a sugar syrup, and orange blossom water or rose water. It is normally filled with cream (Qoshta, Arabic: قشطة) and decorated with pistachio.
