Chebakia is the rose-shaped sesame-and-honey pastry of Ramadan: strips of orange-blossom-spiced dough folded into flowers, deep-fried, then dunked in warm honey and finished with toasted sesame.

Chebakia is the canonical Ramadan sweet across Morocco. Families fold thousands of pastries in the weeks before the holy month, sealed in tins for the iftar table; the pastry traditionally accompanies the harira-and-date opening of each fast. Outside Ramadan, chebakia turns up at weddings and the larger pastry shops year-round.
