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, by the Homsi family. 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.
