So many desserts

-
I bet some of you are wondering if my desserts are Somali. They are not! I am adding tons of easy dessert recipes because Ramadan is in 12 days and many people have guests during Ramadan (I know I do.) If you are looking for a specific recipe, let me know.

Peace

    wa alaikum salam sis

    Actually I rarely make desserts. I made them just for the blog because I know that many people are looking for easy dessert recipes during Ramadan.

    I hope we can be good friends masha'Allah
