Ramadan is a time of tradition, gathering, and indulgent sweets. Among the many beloved Arabic desserts, Othmaleye holds a special place in Middle Eastern cuisine. Known for its delicate, crispy layers and rich, creamy filling, this dessert has been enjoyed across Lebanon, Syria, and the wider Arab world for generations.
This Ramadan, Bachir Ice Cream has given this classic a modern, bite-sized twist — introducing Othmaleye & Ashta Bites, a mini Lebanese dessert that combines crunch, creaminess, and a touch of luxury in every piece.
What Are Bachir's Othmaleye & Ashta Bites?
Othmaleye & Ashta Bites are a reinvented version of the classic Othmaleye dessert, filled with Bachir's signature Ashta ice cream and finished with crushed pistachios. Each bite delivers a layered contrast of textures and flavours:
- Crispy Othmaleye Layers — thin, golden sheets of shredded phyllo pastry, toasted to perfection
- Bachir's Signature Ashta Ice Cream — a smooth, creamy filling made from natural dairy cream with a hint of mastic and rosewater
- Crunchy Pistachios — hand-selected Lebanese pistachios that add a rich, nutty finish
Each piece is perfectly portioned, making it an ideal treat for Ramadan gatherings, iftar tables, and Eid celebrations.
Why Othmaleye & Ashta Bites Are Perfect for Ramadan
Ramadan desserts should be indulgent yet light enough to enjoy after a long day of fasting. Othmaleye & Ashta Bites fit the occasion perfectly:
- Bite-Sized Indulgence — just the right portion to satisfy your sweet cravings without being too heavy after iftar
- Festive & Elegant — a visually stunning dessert that adds a touch of luxury to any Ramadan table
- Perfect for Sharing — ideal for family gatherings, gifting during Ramadan, or treating yourself after a long day of fasting
A Traditional Treat with a Modern Twist
While Othmaleye is traditionally served in larger portions with a layer of fresh Ashta cream, Bachir Ice Cream has reimagined it into mini bites that combine the authentic flavours of Lebanese sweets with their famous Ashta ice cream. This new take brings the best of both worlds — tradition and innovation — in a single, irresistible bite.
Alongside Othmaleye & Ashta Bites, Bachir also offers a selection of Ramadan-special Lebanese desserts including Daoukieh Ashta Cake, Mafroukeh & Ashta Chocolate Rounds, and the classic Ashta Ice Cream with Pistachio.
