Dara's Ice Cream Introduces Chilled Twist On Ramadan Desserts
Put down the spoon, Dara's is serving up more than just ice cream this Ramadan.
Mar 15, 2025
Listen, we all love kunafa, but even legends need a day off. Dara's Ice Cream clearly got the memo because this year, they're throwing some wild cards into the Ramadan dessert game: Honeycomb Mango Cake and Crème Caramel Baklava. Classic? No. Comforting? Absolutely.
Whether you're politely scooping in-store like a civilized human or inhaling it straight from the tub at home (we don't judge, Ramadan hunger is real), this is your sign to retire that sad, half-melted pint in your freezer. Here's what's on the menu.
Alf Leila w Leila Cake
A Thousand and One layers of tasty deliciousness, this cake will certainly keep you up until dawn - proceed with caution. Creme Caramel Baklava
A creamy, buttery take on the classic, dive into this golden, syrup-soaked delight. Dolce De Leche Cake
Dolce de Leche Ice Cream, spongecake, and chocolate in one, this dessert is rich beyond belief. Take a deep breath, then dig in. Honeycomb Mango Cake
Honeycomb AND mango?! This dessert is double the trouble but twice as delicious. Mastic Baklava Cake
No one can truly articulate the flavour of mastic, let alone a Mastic Baklava. The only way to know is to try…we don't make the rules. Rice Pudding and Creme Caramel
No one does Ruz be Laban quite like Egypt, or Dara's Ice Cream…Pair with the silken Creme Caramel Pudding for a comforting addition to any meal. Kunafa Cake
We end with a Ramadan classic, but make it creamier and bigger and better. The perfect fusion of soft and crunchy textures, this heavenly dessert will take you to another dimension.

Where to Find the Best Ice Cream in Egypt
An old adage suggests that we all scream for ice cream - we're here to show you which scoops are worth losing your voice over. Ice cream is the jack of all desserts—not loyal to any one vibe, but exceptional at serving them all. It thrives in Michelin-starred tasting menus and gas station freezers. In croissants, on waffles, under hot espresso shots, or next to a side of fries. It speaks every language (gelato, sorbet, soft serve, rolled, mochi), pairs with any mood (euphoric, heartbroken, hungover), and knows when to shut up and melt. There are few things as versatile, as reliable, or as deliciously unserious. So when we're screaming for ice cream - where exactly should we go? Once upon a time in Egypt a man would ride a bike to sell premium ice cream all around town. Now, we drove around ourselves to find the best ice cream for you, from boutique gelato spots to neighbourhood legends… Amorino Branches all over Egypt Ice cream in the shape of a rose. Honestly, do we even need to say more? The flavours are lush and layered, and yes, it does taste as good as it photographs. Sultana Branches all over Egypt If you know, you know — and if you don't, we can't help you. The rebrand gave it a facelift, but the core? Still elite, still creamy, still the OG. A classic that refuses to age. Dolato Branches all over Egypt For those who want ice cream in polite, melt-proof portions. Their bite-sized pops on sticks are perfect for commitment issues or Cairo's sun-induced chaos. A neat little hit of indulgence without the sticky fingers. Stavolta Branches all over Egypt There's a reason Stavolta is everyone's 'this is actually good' ice cream recommendation. Their flavours go from pistachio and mascarpone to mango and milk basbousa, and somehow they nail all of them. Texturally rich, wildly generous, and occasionally too intense (just like us). Dara's Branches all over Egypt At this point, Dara's is a household name, and everyone knows it. Whether it's a scoop drowning in molten chocolate or a cone that defies gravity, they always deliver drama. No intro needed, just bring your inner child and an extra napkin. Tabi 3 Sesostris St., Heliopolis Ever tried fried ice cream? Tabi said you deserve that chaos. It's hot on the outside, cold on the inside, and perfectly gooey Swirkies River Walk Mall, New Cairo | 231 St., Maadi Chimney cake or ice cream? Why not both? This is your solution to indecision — warm, pillowy dough hugging cold creamy scoops. A texture fever dream, and we're here for it. FortyOne Ice Cream Branches all over Egypt You come here for the sundae and stay for the sugar spiral into madness. Their layers are stacked, sauced, and unapologetically extra. Just say you need a little joy and they'll scoop it into a cup. Mandarine Koueidar Branches all over Egypt You thought you came for the basbousa, but the berry yogurt ice cream is the real mic drop. Unexpectedly elite, dangerously underrated. It's giving 'hidden gem your aunt was right about.' Taiyaki Branches all over Egypt Craving black ice cream in a fish-shaped cone? Of course you are. Taiyaki is theatrical, photogenic, and gives you soft serve with a side of 'what even is this but I love it.' Variegato Gelato Palm Hills | New Giza, Sheikh Zayed | Square One Mall, New Cairo This is how gelato should feel. Cold, creamy, quietly confident. The kind of place that doesn't shout, because it doesn't need to. KB Cake Studio Arkan | New Giza, Sheikh Zayed | Garden 8, New Giza You might go for the cakes, but the ice cream will catch you off guard. Velvety, rich, and a little too easy to finish. Honestly, it deserves its own fanbase. Moko Chocolates Branches all over Egypt Made by actual chocolatiers, so you already know their chocolate ice cream is going to hit differently. Dark, deep, and a bit intense. Like a bad habit you don't want to quit. Rigoletto Branches all over Egypt Your childhood ice cream spot is still standing strong, and still tastes like after-school freedom. No frills, no drama, just scoop-and-go joy. The loyalty is generational. Fresco Gelateria 29 El-Ismailia St., Alexandria Alexandrians don't play about their gelato, and this place proves it. No loud branding, just serious flavour and old-school charm. Go once and you'll understand the cult following.

A Step In the Right Direction: Egyptians to Face Fine for Returning a Sponsored Child to a Foster Home
News of a new policy introduced by the Ministry of Social Solidarity, which imposes a 20,000 EGP fine on any family that decides to return a sponsored child to a state-run foster home, is going viral. This announcement comes following the release of one of Ramadan's most talked-about shows, Welad El Shams, prompting many to draw a direct link between the drama's storyline and the timing of this policy. The goal is clearly to ensure that the decision to sponsor a child under the kafala system is not taken lightly but rather treated with deep seriousness and long-term commitment from the foster families. However, public opinion has been divided, with some questioning the impact of enforcing such policy. Could the fear of a fine force foster families to keep children they're not emotionally invested in, leaving those children to suffer in environments lacking love and genuine care? So, what do you think about this new policy? Will it truly make a difference, or does it need to be complemented with stronger first-stage assessments, ensuring that only families who are psychologically and emotionally prepared for fostering are allowed to take that step?
