About this recipe

This Warbat recipe is a must-try if you’re a fan of flaky, buttery pastries. Warbat, with its layers of crispy filo pastry and a creamy ashta filling, is the perfect dessert to impress your guests or enjoy as a sweet treat at home. The combination of the crunchy pastry and smooth, luscious filling makes this dessert absolutely irresistible. I love making Warbat because it’s simple yet elegant, with a flavour that’s sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.

If you enjoy Warbat, you’ll also love my Shaybiyat recipe, which is quite similar but with the ashta filling baked right into the pastry, creating a slightly different but equally delicious experience. And for something with a fruity twist, try my Apricot and Pistachio Baklawa Parcels—a delightful variation on traditional baklawa where I’ve made parcels filled with pistachios and dried apricots. These recipes are all perfect for anyone who loves pastries and wants to try something a bit different, all while keeping that delicious Middle Eastern flavour.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 16 filo pastry sheets
  • 100 grams of ghee
  • ¾ cup finely crushed pistachio

Sugar syrup

  • 1 cup of sugar
  • ½ cup of water
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons rosewater

For the filling:

  • 1 cup of milk
  • 2 cups of double cream
  • 3 ½ tablespoons of cornflour
  • 2 tablespoons of fine semolina
  • 2 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1-2 teaspoons of rose water

Notes from Rouba

  • The sugar syrup can be prepped ahead of time, up to two weeks in advance.
  • You can prepare the filling the day before.
  • Work quickly with the filo to prevent it from drying out.
  • Make sure the ghee is hot to ensure the pastry crisps evenly.
  • Handle the baked filo pastry gently. Sometimes, while opening the pastry, it may break. If it tears slightly, don’t worry! Once the filling is piped in, the pastries will still come out perfect.

Method

Step 1.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a small pot prepare the filling by mixing together the milk, double cream, cornflour, semolina, and rose water until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Step 2.

On a clean and dry work surface, place 8 filo pastry sheets on top of each other, and cut the layered sheets into 12 squares using a sharp knife.

Step 3.

Arrange the pastry squares on a baking trays lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave a small gap between each square.

In a small saucepan, melt the ghee over medium heat until hot. Pour the hot ghee over the pastry squares, making sure to cover each square completely.

Step 4.

Place the baking tray into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry squares are golden brown.

Remove the baking tray from the oven and drizzle the sugar syrup over the hot pastry squares. Allow the pastry to cool for 10 minutes.

 

Step 5.

After the pastry squares are cool, gently open them using your hands.

Fill each one with the ashta filling using a piping bag and for the final touch, dip the side of each warbat dessert into crushed pistachio."

The only gift you can give me - Today is my birthday, and I’m reflecting on how grateful I am.  I’m so thankful for the love and support of my family, for my health, for my faith, and for all of you who are part of my journey❤️

But today, there will be no celebrations. Not for me.
If you’re thinking of wishing me well, I ask for just one thing: Wish for peace. Wish for a free Palestine 🇵🇸 Wish for an end to the war, an end to the genocide.
Wish peace for the Palestinians and the Lebanese 🇱🇧- peace for all of us🙏🏽

That’s the only gift I need today 🙏🏽❤️

It’s with a heavy heart that I continue sharing recipes while knowing that people are being DELIBARTELY STARVED. Please correct the language around you – they are not starving, they are being starved. The guilt weighs heavily, but the reality is, I have to keep posting. I’m not here to justify or explain why, because, honestly, I’m mentally drained.

Today, I’m sharing a recipe that brings comfort in tough times. The best ever pistachio rose brownies and so easy to make. These brownies are just the right amount of squidgy on the inside with a lovely crust on the top. The raspberries add a little tartness and cut through the chocolate nicely, which goes perfectly with the brownie.

When people ask me, ‘Is your family okay?’ I want to scream that the people you see on your screens are all my family. Every person, every child, every home — they are my people, my family. 💔

We have run out of words for what we’ve witnessed and continue to witness. Today, I’m being honest with you all: my sadness has turned into anger, my heartbreak into frustration. I feel a mix of helplessness, rage, and deep sorrow, wanting to scream at someone, to shout at the injustice. But instead, I need to channel this energy elsewhere.

Let’s help each other out — how do we process this? How do we keep moving forward? What do you do to cope in moments like these? Drop your advice below👇🏾Let’s find strength together. 💪🏾

Read to the end... and ask yourself, why?
Look closely at this photo. It may seem like just a building, but if you look closer, you’ll see holes — scars from a bomb that hit our home in 1983 by Isr-ael . But that’s not the story I’m here to tell. I’m here to talk about family, love, and what it means to grow up between two worlds. Scroll through 👉🏽 these photos and videos, and at the end, I hope you’ll ask yourself the same question I do: Why are we seen so differently?

I was born in Australia 🇦🇺 but my father wanted me to grow up in Lebanon 🇱🇧 surrounded by our family, our culture, and our traditions. He believed that we should grow up in the heart of our roots, amongst our people, to learn who we are and where we come from. And while we did, there was always this underlying reality—war, unrest, the world constantly chipping away at the places we call home 🥲

It’s ironic, isn’t it? In the West, there’s often resentment towards migrants and refugees. They ask why we come, but the truth is, we are here because the very countries they live in have been bombing ours for decades. We never wanted to leave our homes; we were forced to. Our families, our homes, and our childhood memories are left behind, often shattered, while we try to rebuild elsewhere❤️

My trip back home only a couple of month ago was wonderful. I spent time with family and created new memories that I’ll always hold dear. Some of the people you see in these photos, though, have already left their homes. Others are now forced to leave as well. And the rest? They wait with anxious hearts, knowing that more bombs will fall, knowing their world will soon be reduced to rubble 💔

I often wonder — why doesn’t the world see us, Arabs, as people who deserve to live in peace? Why is it that when they look at us, they see something different, something “other”? Take a moment to look at these photos and videos. At the end, you’ll see Gus and me, just two normal people, sharing a light moment, having some fun. 

Why is it that the world sees us as anything less than human💔
From Ghassan to Carlos, Miguel, and Agostino—each city, a new name, but the same laughs and love. No matter what he calls himself, he’s still my favourite travel buddy, making every moment unforgettable 🤗After six weeks of adventure, it’s a wrap for our holiday! Swipe through to see some snapshots of our selfies—you’ve followed our journey on my stories,which moment was your favourite? And wait till you see the last video—he’s got a funny way of saying ‘time to go home!’ 😂 haha or shall we say K.I.S.S.👇🏾
