Ramadan is a time for introspection, worship, gathering, and gratitude – but for Egyptians, it’s also a time to push the boundaries of all things baked, whipped, and ganache-d, to see just how far you can go without going viral for the wrong reasons. Over the past few years, ‘eftekasat’ have completely overtaken our dessert tables, and you know what? We’re all for them.

This year, Dolato got more than a little creative, introducing a slew of new and inventive desserts that’ll have your great aunt rethinking her ‘whatever happened to plain kunafa bil eshta’ comments. From Pecan Tres Leches to Hazelnut Pistachio Basbousa (and plenty in between), here’s everything on Dolato’s Ramadan menu.

Kunafa Cones & Asawer

Naturally, given that this is Dolato, after all - we simply can’t not have cones (and well, ‘asawer’). They’re available in pistachio, mango, cream, and chocolate.

Kunafa Mango

There once was a day when Kunafa Mango was an outrageous thought. Today? It’s the tamest dessert out there.

Hazelnut Pistachio Basbousa

Now that’s what you call a triple threat. PSA: You’ll likely need some insulin for this one.

Pistachio Cheesecake Gelato Tart

Pistachio cheesecake GELATO? That’s an interesting way to say ‘heaven’.

Revani Caramel Gelato Tart

We’ll spare you the google search, folks. Revani is that sponge cake drenched in syrup you always find at your maternal aunt’s and just can’t tell if it’s basbousa or cake.

Fostoqya

Kunafa, pistachio, and pistachio cream - Dolato’s fostoqya exists to satiate the cravings of those who fell victim to the all-things-pistachio movement (we don’t blame them.)

Pecan Tres Leches

What’s better than a Tres Leches? Easy, a Pecan Tres Leches, or as Dolato likes to call it, a PecaLeche.

Pistachio Tres Leches

Now get this, what’s better than a Tres Leches AND a PecaLeche? We’re glad you asked, it’s the PistaLeche.

Strawberry Cheesecake Kunafa

Strawberry Cheesecake we know, Kunafa we love. Strawberry Cheesecake Kunafa? That’s one we’ll be knowing and loving for years to come.

Dubai Chocolate Cake

Naturally, we had to save the best for last. There’s simply no better way to sleep through the day and wake up by Maghrib than by having a slide or two of Dolato’s Dubai Chocolate Cake. You can rest assured that it’ll knock you out, and you’ll be grateful for it.
