ABOUT THE RECIPE
Moroccan Almond Mhancha is a traditional sweet treat that pairs perfectly with a glass of Moroccan mint tea.
It is served for special occasions such as Ramadan or weddings.
The word mhancha, comes from the Arabic word for snake, referring to the shape of the desert.
This delicious treat is made with pastilla sheets, which is wrapped around an orange blossom almond paste, then shaped into a coil shape before being baked to golden brown crunchy perfection.
The subtly sweet almond paste contrasts beautifully with the doughy texture, providing a burst of flavor with each bite.
