Pistachio Burma 1 lb

Pistachio Burma is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert that captivates with its intricate layers, textures, and flavors. Originating from the middle east, this sweet treat is made using finely shredded phyllo dough, known as kataifi, which is carefully wrapped or coiled to form delicate, nest-like shapes. The dough is filled with a generous mixture of finely selected pistachios.

Once shaped, the Burma is baked to a golden-brown perfection, allowing the outer layers of dough to become crisp and crunchy while the pistachio filling remains rich and nutty. After baking, the dessert is drenched in a warm, aromatic syrup made from sugar, water, flavored with rose water. This syrup infuses the Burma with a light floral sweetness, balancing the rich nutty filling and crispy exterior.

The contrast between the crunchy kataifi dough and the soft, syrup-soaked interior makes each bite of Pistachio Burma a delightful experience, with layers of flavor unfolding as you savor it. Traditionally served at celebrations and gatherings, Pistachio Burma has become a beloved dessert across the Middle East and beyond, enjoyed with a cup of tea or coffee as a sweet indulgence after meals. Its elegant appearance and refined taste make it a centerpiece of dessert tables during special occasions, though it’s just as satisfying as an everyday treat for those with a sweet tooth.

Pistachio Burma is made with a handful of simple yet flavorful ingredients that come together to create a luxurious dessert. These ingredients include:

• Kataifi (shredded phyllo dough): This is the key component that forms the crispy, nest-like layers of the dessert.
• Pistachios: Whole pistachios are the main filling, adding a rich, nutty flavor and a vibrant green color.
• Butter: Melted butter is brushed onto the dough to give it a golden, crispy texture and to enhance the richness of the dessert.
• Syrup (attar): Combined with sugar to form the base of the syrup.
• Rose water: These fragrant floral waters are added to the syrup for a light, aromatic finish.
