Hi, is it possible to use sugar substitutes in these recipes? Thank you.
Ironie I’ve never tried this with sugar substitute so I can’t tell.
Can I make this a day ahead of time? Or will the nuts get soggy? We can’t wait to try it; thank you!
You sure can Jennifer this can last a few days in the fridge.
Do you have a recipe for mafroukeh?
Hi Marilyn – We’ve never made Mafroukeh at home due to its wide availability at sweet vendors in Lebanon. Having said that, I think it’s a good idea to experiment doing it at home since we don’t have access to it here in the US. If we end up making it successfully we’ll publish it on our blog. Thanks for the idea.
