1.Creamy muhalabiya with mango sauce
While technically a dessert, muhalabiya is a delicate milk pudding that sits beautifully between a drink and a sweet course. Silky, fragrant and finished with vibrant mango sauce, it’s a lovely option after iftar or as a celebratory Eid alternative to a heavier dessert.

2. Eid milk
This is a classic celebratory drink that’s rich, creamy and synonymous with Eid festivities. This slow-simmered milk drink is flavoured with cardamom and saffron, scattered with vermicelli and topped with toasted nuts. It's traditionally served warm but is equally delicious chilled after a long day of fasting.
3. Sweet vermicelli dessert with toasted almonds
Another favourite milk-based treat, this sweet vermicelli dessert can be served as a drink or a light dessert. Its nutty aroma and subtle sweetness make it great for ending a meal, especially if served slightly warm.

4. Date smoothie for suhoor
Made with soaked dates, milk, plain yoghurt, honey and a dash of cinnamon, this smoothie is simple and nourishing. It's an ideal option for the pre-dawn suhoor meal. The dates' natural sugars and creamy yoghurt make it energising and easy to digest.
