?EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Breadfast has come up with two new creations this year, and we don’t know how we’ve lived this long without them. First up is the basbousa baklawa with mastik cream. We won’t lie, we were skeptical at first, but we were quickly won over by this one. The mastik pastry cream and the crunchy unsweetened baklawa topping perfectly complement the sweet basbousa base. The baklawa doesn’t add much flavor, but we think that its crispiness was definitely much needed to balance out the rich creaminess of the basbousa-mestika combo.

One Ramadan party favorite that has already made a name for itself: Breadfast’s konafa millefeuille. Released last Ramadan, this dessert has been a hit at most dining tables it’s reached — and for good reason. A base layer of shredded konafa is topped with a generous layer of pastry cream, and a crispy millefeuille top dressed with powdered sugar.

What we like: None of the components are overly sweetened. In fact, it seems like the powdered sugar is the only thing lending obvious sweetness to the dish. This is great if you’re trying to avoid the infamous Ramadan sugar coma, but dangerous if you want to control your portions.

Disclaimer: Breadfast has released an updated version of this Ramadan hit in the form of a mango konafa millefeuille. Our verdict? Nothing tops the original.

Last but not least, the banana pudding basbousa: This newcomer has rivaled the popularity of the konafa millefeuille, even becoming some people’s favorite offering from Breadfast. This dish is a hodgepodge of basbousa chunks, banana slices, crushed biscuit, and pastry cream with a drizzle of caramel on top. Again, Breadfast masters the sugar level, making it so that this delicious combo doesn’t overwhelm your sweet tooth.
