Basbousa (also called harissa in the Maghreb or namoura in Lebanon) is THE iconic semolina cake 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 distinguished by its ultra-soft and melting texture.
Why is this mango-coconut-rose version perfect for Ramadan & Aïd?
Modern flavors: Mango and coconut bring a refreshing tropical touch while respecting the recipe’s DNA.
Delicate aroma: Rose water enhances the sweetness of the mango without weighing it down.
Melting texture: Coconut milk replaces part of the yogurt for an even more tender softness.
Generous syrup: As in tradition, the cake is soaked in a warm syrup that permeates every bite.
