ABOUT THE RECIPE
Kaab Ghzal or "gazelle's horns", is an iconic traditional Moroccan pastry that is widely known for its crescent shape and soft, flaky texture. It is a popular Moroccan dessert that is served during special occasions, such as weddings, Eid al-Fitr, and other celebrations.
Kaab Ghzal has a distinctive crescent shape, which is achieved by folding a thin layer of dough around a filling made from almond paste, sugar, and orange blossom water which give it a unique flavor and aroma.
This pastry has a rich, sweet flavor balanced by the slight floral notes of orange blossom water that complements the nutty taste of the almond filling. The texture is also noteworthy, as the pastry has a flaky-buttery, melt-in-your-mouth quality that is reminiscent of puff pastry.
Kaab Ghzal is typically served as a sweet treat after a meal or with mint tea during traditional Moroccan tea time.
