Date Basbosa

The Ingredients

In a bowl, place the date paste and mix it with the hot water until it becomes soft and pliable.
Add the cardamom, semolina, baking powder, and powdered milk, then mix well.
On low heat, melt the Bakers Choice, then add it to the mixture along with a pinch of salt, and stir until the ingredients are well combined.
Prepare a baking tray, then spread the basbousa mixture in it. Using a knife, score squares to make it easier to cut after baking.
Place the tray in a preheated oven at 300°C for 20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and it is fully cooked.
After removing the basbousa from the oven, immediately pour the sweetened condensed milk over it while it’s hot, allowing it to absorb well.
Garnish the top of the basbousa with blanched almonds, then let it cool slightly before serving.
