Some cafes we visited in Syria have added a modern twist to
their traditional foods and sweets they offered. In particular, we were amazed
by this pistachio, caramel Baklava, topped with pistachio coated Halawa ice cream. Baklava is a sweet pastry made of
layers of phyllo pastry filled with a
range of nuts, in particular pistachios and is sweetened with a thick sugary
syrup. Halawa, also known as “halva”,
is a type of dense, sweet confection, containing a variety of nuts and dried
fruits.
The combination worked very
well, and is a must try!
