There’s no dessert that depicts the true essence of Ramadan as the traditional Umm Ali. Simple ingredients of pastry, milk and sugar bound together in the comfort of milk, baked and beautifully adorned with assorted nuts bringing to life all the elements of a blissful Ramadan.

2. Kunafa

Undoubtedly, Kunafa is a Ramadan favourite. A marriage of textures brought to each bite by the crunchy vermicelli which tops the cream or cheese filling. This one is dangerously addictive given the extra sweetness that it could bring with the sugar syrup which is poured on the baked delight along with a dash of nuts. While being heavily delectable, it also brings a life of freshness with a splash of rosewater or orange blossom for aroma.

This syrup-drenched, stuffed version of an Arabic pancake is a Ramadan table must-have. Typically stuffed with cream and coated in nuts this dessert makes for a flavour and texture explosion with each bite. Qatayef takes the sweet quotient to heights when drizzled with honey or sugar syrup.

A deep-fried delicacy that is basic in its looks but top-notch in taste. Best described as flour dumplings, that are fried to golden goodness and soaked in sugar-syrup with hints of saffron and cardamom. You must be warned these bite-sized treats may become a non-stop crunch that you would always crave.

A dessert of the sorts of a cake with an Arabic flare. A dense semolina-based baked treat that binds together authentic ingredients such as tahini along with ground almonds and yoghurt topped with nuts; this makes for a wholesome dessert. Pro-tip to thoroughly savour Basbousa is to ensure you pour on the essential accompaniment of the aromatic sugar-syrup.
