Halawet el jibn

Halawet el-jibn (cheese sweet) is a Syrian dessert made of a semolina and cheese dough, filled with cream. Its origin is from [Homs] in Syria. 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. 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.
