Halawat el Jibn, meaning the sweetness of cheese, is a very popular Lebanese dish. This dish is made of a thin layer of phyllo pastry rolled with cheese and a custard like heavy cream.
A finger-licking dish, halawat el jibn is a cheese dessert drizzled with either rose water or a sweet simple syrup. It is often garnished with nuts, especially pistachios and can be topped with cherries.
