Halawet el-jibn (Arabic: حلاوة الجبن / Ḥalāwat al-jibn) (cheese sweet) is a Syrian dessert made of a semolina and cheese dough, filled with cream.

[1] Its origin is from Hama[2] in Syria.

It is found in other regions in the Middle East, and has been brought by Syrian immigrants to other countries such as Turkey and Germany.

[3][2][4][5] This dessert is primarily made of a cheese dough (containing Akkawi cheese, mozzarella, or some mix of cheeses), a sugar syrup, and orange blossom water or rose water.

It is normally filled with cream (Qoshta, Arabic: قشطة) and decorated with pistachio.
