A layered Middle Eastern dessert, Aish el Saraya which contains layers of powdered rusk soaked in sugar syrup, an eggless creamy custard, pistachios and thick cream. This would be the perfect dessert to serve during Eid.
We love desserts! And if it is Arabic sweets, we love them even more. You all must be aware of my love for it. I have posted quite a lot of Arabic sweets recipes already, some of them are Arabic bread pudding, Umm-Ali, Kataif Asaferi, Kanafe Naame and many many more. Check them out if you haven’t before.
It is very simple to make this pudding, so this is gonna be my go to dessert when I’m in short of time, when I’m entertaining and when I need something eggless or rich and creamy from now on. You all should try this. It is too good.
If you are lazy to make these in individual cups, you can make this in a tray. See how to make that here.
