Warbat Explained

Warbat (Arabic: وربات) is a Levantine sweet pastry similar to baklava

Warbat consists of layers of phyllo dough filled with a semolina based custard,[1] [2] though it is sometimes also filled with pistachios, walnuts, almonds,[3] or sweet cheese.[4] The dessert is topped with a sweet syrup made from sugar, water, and a hint of lemon brought to a boil and then left to cool and thicken.[5]

When served with cream it is called warbat bi-qishteh or warbat be gishta. Warbat is often served during Ramadan.[6] In Lebanon, as well as in Homs and Hama, the dessert is known as shabiyaat.
