Halawet El Jibn is a soft, delicate Lebanese dessert made from semolina and melted cheese (typically Akkawi or Mozzarella) rolled into thin sheets, filled with ashta (clotted cream), and topped with rose or orange blossom syrup and pistachios. Native to Homs, Syria, but widely popular in Lebanon, it is traditionally chilled and rolled into bite-sized pieces, offering a chewy, creamy texture and floral sweetness. Served during Eid, weddings, or special gatherings, it reflects the Levant’s refined dessert tradition.

Common variations include flavored ashta, or using rosewater-infused cheese dough for added aroma.
