Imqaret is a traditional Maltese dessert that is popular in both Malta and Gozo. The name 'Imqaret' is derived from the Arabic word for 'diamond', which refers to the diamond shape that is typical of this dessert.

Ingredients and Preparation[edit]

Imqaret is primarily made from a dough of flour, water, and lard, which is then filled with a mixture of dates, cloves, and anise. The filled dough is then deep-fried until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Some variations of Imqaret may also include orange blossom water, cinnamon, and nutmeg in the filling for added flavor.

Cultural Significance[edit]

Imqaret is often associated with Maltese feast days and is commonly sold at local street markets and fairs. It is also a popular dessert during the Christmas season in Malta. Despite its deep roots in Maltese tradition, Imqaret has also gained popularity among tourists and is often served in Maltese restaurants abroad.
