Luscious Ramadan treat made vegan: Layali Lubnan. It’s a popular Arabic dessert made of semolina pudding. Layers of creamy vegan Ashta topped with crushed pistachios.

Ingredients

  • For the Pudding:
  • 1 cup fine semolina

  • 5 cups plant milk

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 2 tsp rose water

  • For the Ashta Cream:
  • 1 cup vegan whipping cream

  • 1/2 cup plant milk

  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • For the Simple Syrup (Atterr):
  • 2 cups sugar

  • 1 cup water

  • 1 tsp of lemon juice

  • 1/2 tsp rose water

  • Toppings:
  • 3/4 cup crushed pistachios

  • Rose petals to decorate, optional

Directions

  • Make the Ashta. Whisk together the ingredients (except rose water) in a saucepan until there are no lumps. Turn the heat to medium-high and continue whisking until thickened – about 5 minutes. It should be creamy and pourable. Remove from heat and stir in the rose water. Empty into a bowl and cover to cool down. Chill in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Make the Semolina Pudding. Whisk together the ingredients (except rose water) in a saucepan over medium-high heat – stirring frequently – for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the rose water. Pour into a 9 x 11 pan. Spread evenly and tap a few times. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Pour the Ashta cream over the pudding and spread evenly. Sprinkle the crushed pistachios. Return to the fridge for at least 4 hours to overnight.
  • Make the Simple Syrup. Mix the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat for 10 to 15 minutes, whisking frequently, until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the rose water and lemon juice. Empty into a bowl and allow to cool down completely. Chill until ready to use.
  • Once ready to serve, cut into 16 squares, and pour the simple syrup over each piece you want to serve. Note: do not pour the syrup over the unused pieces as it will soften the texture if not served immediately.
