Recipe Information
Halawet el Jibn
Cultural Context
Halawet el Jibn is a traditional dessert from Syria, often enjoyed during festive occasions and family gatherings. This sweet cheese roll highlights the rich culinary heritage of the Levant, showcasing the use of simple ingredients like semolina and cheese to create a delightful treat. Its popularity has spread across the Middle East, with variations appearing in neighboring countries, each adding their unique twist to this beloved dish.
mozzarella cheese
🥗Healthier: ricotta cheese
💰Cheaper: cottage cheese
Ricotta is lower in fat while providing a similar texture.
fine semolina
🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour
💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour
Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.
rose water
🥗Healthier: orange blossom water
💰Cheaper: vanilla extract
Orange blossom water offers a floral note at a lower cost.
pistachios
🥗Healthier: almonds
💰Cheaper: walnuts
Almonds provide a similar crunch and flavor.
Bring 1 liter of fresh milk with 1 tbsp vinegar to a boil and strain the liquid after the cheese has clotted to prepare the cream cheese.
Add sugar, water, and lemon juice to a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in rose water and let cool.
In a medium-hot saucepan, cook milk and sugar together, stirring until sugar dissolves. Bring fine semolina to a boil, stirring continuously until thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
Reduce heat, add cheese and rose water, mixing until melted and forming a soft dough. Allow to cool until warm enough to handle.
Slice the dough into two equal parts, roll to a thickness of 3-4 mm, add cheese stuffing, roll it up, and cut edges with a sharp knife to form logs.
Repeat with all dough, trimming to desired size and garnishing with crushed pistachios and melted chocolate.
