Can you please tell me the size of the pan you're using? Wonderful recipe btw 🙂
Hello Laila! i'vejust stumbled upon your chanel and can't wait to try all the Middle Eastern desserts! I am a big fan of most and quite excited to try to make them at home. God bless you for sharing your knowledge and making the videos so simple and easy to follow. Thank you.
Thank you, Looks so good! What kind of spread? Where can I find it in the US stores?
عملتهاا طلعت زاكية بس طعم السميد شوي طاغي فيها
What is this music composition called?
Nice recipe… can we use double cream and whip that to make it thick?
This recipe looks absolutely Yummy. Will try for Ramadhan. Love the song too! Who is the artist.
Whipping cream is too fluffy, maybe.
In America, I don't know where to get cream. Can i use 'heavy whipping cream'?
Laila, I haven't seen a video from you for a while! What a wonderful dessert! I think I may make this for Ramadan .. tell me what kind of cream are you using? The texture looks different from the kind of cream we get here in Canada.
يعطيج العافية دكتورتنا، في انتظار وصفاتج القادمة :)
