- Malva Pudding. This wonderfully sweet cake is similar in texture and consistency to a tres leches cake. It’s soft and moist thanks to the yummy homemade syrup that you pour over it while it’s still warm.
- Chocolate Malva Pudding. This warm, incredible cake is similar to the malva pudding recipe mentioned above. It even includes apricot jam, vinegar, and brown sugar.
- Moroccan Shortbread Cookies. These shortbread cookies are probably a little rounder than what you’re used to eating. They’re also crunchy, crumbly, and full of cracks, which is why they’re called “silly cookies.”
- Melt-in-Mouth Butter Cookies (Egyptian Ghorayebah) All you’ll need to make these soft, indulgent cookies is powdered sugar, flour, ghee (unsalted butter won’t work), and a tiny dash of baking powder.
- West African Lime Cake. If you enjoy your cake extremely tart and tangy, this is one recipe you have to try, and you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen!
- Crunchies (South African Oatmeal Bars) These are granola bars for people who don’t like granola bars. They’re also granola bars for people who do like granola bars and for people who are on the fence about the whole issue.
- Koeksisters. Koeksisters take about 2-and-a half-hours to make. Much of that time, though, is idle time for refrigerating, resting, and cooling. Because I love any food that’s pretty, I adore these.
- Umm Ali (Egyptian Bread Pudding) This Egyptian dessert is similar to bread pudding, only with a few extra goodies thrown in for a more enjoyable taste.
- South African Peppermint Crisp Fridge Tart. I love cooking, but sometimes I just want something sweet and yummy without having to stand over a stove for half an hour to make it.
- Chebakia (Moroccan Sesame Cookies) It may take you a couple of tries to get these rose-shaped cookies shaped precisely right. The great part about that is that you’ll get to eat all the mistakes yourself!
