Layali Lubnan (Lebanese Nights Pudding)

Layali Lubnan, or “Lebanese Nights,” is a gently layered dessert that feels like a soft exhale at the end of a bold meal. At its base is a creamy semolina pudding, delicately scented with orange blossom water and made rich with milk and cream. It’s topped with a cloud of ashta-style whipped cream, a scattering of pistachios for crunch, and a delicate drizzle of rose-scented syrup to bring it all together.
