Known by different names across the Middle East — Hareesah in the Levant and Basbousa in Egypt — this timeless dessert unites the region through its rich, comforting flavor.
Made from fine semolina, sugar, milk, and golden butter ghee, each slice is baked to perfection and soaked in aromatic sugar syrup, creating a moist, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Topped with roasted pistachios for a delightful crunch, Hareesah offers the perfect balance of sweetness and nutty aroma.
Ideal for sharing during gatherings or as a treat with coffee or tea, this dessert embodies authentic Middle Eastern hospitality and warmth in every bite.
