Fakhfakhina (Egyptian Arabic: فخفخينا) is an Egypt fruit salad that combines a variety of fresh seasonal fruits, fruit juices, and often a scoop of ice cream, making it a popular choice for Egyptians during hot summer months.[1][2]
Preparation
To prepare fakhfakhina, an assortment of fresh fruits such as mangoes, apples, peaches, bananas, and strawberries are chopped into bite-sized pieces.[3] These mixed fruits are then combined in a bowl. In a separate bowl, pineapple juice and orange juice are mixed together. Each serving cup is filled with a portion of the mixed fruits and topped with the juice blend. A layer of eshta is spread evenly over each cup, and optional toppings like honey and crushed nuts can be added for extra flavor and texture. [3] Some variations also include a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, enhancing the dessert's richness and appeal.[1]
