While warm drizzle with topping.

Enjoy!

  5. Thank you sooo much for these wonderful recipes Sasha! These are exactly the kind of recipes I look for. If I use store bought date paste like the Ziyad brand, do I still have to add water to it? I believe it's thicker and sweeter than homemade date paste.
