Kaab el ghazal are crescent-shaped Moroccan pastries filled with almond paste, ground cinnamon and orange-blossom water; the dough wrapped paper-thin around the filling and baked till pale.
Kaab el ghazal (gazelle horns), called cornes de gazelle in French, is the Fassi pastry classic adopted across Morocco. The name refers to the crescent shape, said to evoke a gazelle's antler. Traditionally a wedding and Eid sweet; today, almond pastries sit on every Moroccan pastry-shop counter year-round and especially at Eid al-Fitr (March 20 to 22, 2026).
