Basbousa (also called harissa in the Maghreb or namoura in Lebanon) is THE semolina cake emblematic of the Middle East and North Africa. Traditionally made with yogurt, melted butter, and soaked in a sweet syrup of honey or rose water, this pastry is known for its ultra-soft and melting texture.
Why is this mango-coconut-rose version perfect for Ramadan & Eid?
Modern flavors: Mango and coconut bring a refreshing tropical touch while respecting the core of the recipe.
Delicate scent: Rose water enhances the sweetness of the mango without weighing it down.
Melting texture: Coconut milk replaces part of the yogurt for an even richer softness.
Generous syrup: As in tradition, the cake is bathed in a warm syrup that soaks into every bite.
