FAQ · Things people ask

About this recipe.

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Absolutely! Mafroukeh tastes even better after it has had time to chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully. You can prepare it a day in advance.

What if I can't find clotted cream (ashta)?

If authentic ashta is unavailable, you can substitute it with a thick layer of mascarpone cheese, or a mixture of heavy cream whipped with a little cornstarch and rose water to thicken it. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.
