Original price was: £2.79.£1.29Current price is: £1.29.
This Coconut Basbousa mix from Holw El Sham brings one of the most loved Middle Eastern desserts straight into your kitchen with ease. Basbousa is a traditional semolina cake, gently baked until golden and then soaked in fragrant sugar syrup, creating a beautifully moist, slightly crumbly texture that melts in the mouth. The addition of coconut gives this version a light tropical note, enhancing both aroma and flavour.
Perfect for serving after a hearty meal or alongside tea or Arabic coffee, this mix allows you to recreate an authentic dessert with consistent results every time. Simply prepare, bake, and finish with syrup for that signature glossy, sweet finish. It’s especially popular during gatherings, Ramadan evenings, and Eid celebrations, where desserts like basbousa are a centrepiece of hospitality.
Product tips:
For an elevated finish, top with blanched almonds before baking or drizzle with orange blossom or rose water syrup for added depth. Serve slightly warm with cream or clotted cream for a luxurious touch.
Perfect pairings:
Rose water syrup
Clotted cream or fresh cream
