minutesBasbousa is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert that is known to be originated in Egypt! This is prepared with semolina and sweetened with simple syrup! An extremely moist and super delicious recipe is this! Basbousa is normally made plain without any cream filling, but here the layering of it with cream takes it to a next level dessert! I’ve tried a couple of recipes for a perfect basbousa and this one is a share-worthy! I Love Arabic sweets for their simplicity and flavors! It is not overly sweet yet so flavorful and fav for many! All Arabic desserts are super simple to prepare and so attractive too! This recipe is from one of my fav vlogger Bayona! Thank you so much for this perfect recipe dear, loved it to the core! If you don’t like the cream layer skip it and make it plain like a cake.
