A piece of cake

Tight on time? Low on energy? Out of ideas?

Choithrams.com has got you covered this Ramadan with a fantastic selection of ready made cakes.

With saffron, lavender, pistachio, date, and many more, there's one for each night of the week.

Baklava bundles

Baklava is a layered pastry dessert made of filo pastry, filled with chopped nuts, and sweetened with syrup or honey.

It's also delicious and a firm favourite at any Iftar meal.

Make your baklava triangles healthier than traditional recipes by making them with honey instead of refined sugar or syrup.

As a result, they’re not as sweet and a few pistachios and dried roses on top will really balance the flavours.

Splendid Shaabiyat

These are crunchy, dreamy, sweet pastries and are absolutely delicious.

Made with layers of phyllo dough, a little like baklava, shaabiyat, or warbat as they are sometimes referred, are then filled with a traditional homemade Lebanese Ashta cream filling.

Gorgeous Gullac

This traditional offering is decorated with crunchy pistachio nuts and tart pomegranate kernels.

It is a very simple dessert, meaning it's perfect for those tight on time after a busy day at work.

It is made with gullac pastry sheets, milk, sugar, rosewater and crushed walnuts.
