JAWHARA or Milk Pastilla:  The Jewel of Moroccan Desserts.  Quite literally as Jawhara means Jewel in Arabic.

To make this delicate, delicious dessert you’ll need the following:

2c milk or plant based milk
1/2c sugar
1.5T cornstarch
1 small cinnamon stick (optional)
1T orange blossom water
Warqa or Filo Dough cut into 7” rounds
Fried of Roasted Almonds, crushed
Cinnamon and Powered Sugar for serving

Start by mixing a splash of milk with the cornstarch to create a slurry. Combine the remaining milk, sugar, cornstarch slurry and optional cinnamon stick in a saucepan over medium heat.  Bring to boil, reduce to simmer and stir constantly for 5-10 minutes until the mixture thickens and nicely coats your spoon.  Off heat, add orange blossom water and cool completely.  It will continue to thicken as the mixture cools.

Fry your warqa rounds in a neutral oil until golden brown and crispy.  If you’re using filo dough, brush the filo with melted butter and layer 2-3 sheets of filo on top of one another to create a thicker pastry before frying.

Assemble by layering fried pastry, orange blossom cream and crushed almonds.  

Serve immediately.
