Item 1: Almond Fingers for Christmas Morning
Imagine waking up on Christmas morning and having that first sip of coffee to warm you up. What better way to celebrate the day than to have that first cup, and every consequent cup, with a sweet and nutty treat that pairs perfectly with coffee?
Almond Fingers are made with a blend of almonds and hazelnuts that are wrapped in a crispy brik filo sheet. Considered to be a morning pastry, this treat originally came from Morocco, but later on, became a part of Tunisian traditions.
Every bite of this delectable treat tells a story of how much care and love went into making it. The artisan starts with the crisp brik sheets, which are made with a batter less than 0.04 inches thick. Then, the sheets are carefully cooked on a flat hot surface until they are crispy but still flexible enough to be rolled.
Next, the finest almonds and hazelnuts are chopped and mixed with syrup, before they’re rolled into the brik filo sheets. There you have it, the wondrous treats that are bound to make your Christmas morning the best one yet.
One of the great things about our Almond Fingers is that you can order them in advance and refrigerate them for up to 4 weeks! Simply wrap the box in plastic before storing it, and remember to take it out an hour before serving.
Our Almond Fingers are the best you’ll find out there and we’re not the only ones to say that.
“Best pastries ever!
Delicious pastries, hand-made with quality natural ingredients. The best of the best!”

Item 2: Sweet Samsa Pistachio
Samsa Pistachio is one of the most famous pastries in North Africa. Traditionally, they are served during friend and family gatherings, which makes them the perfect treat for Christmas.
The recipe for this flavourful treat varies from one family to the other as they’ve been passed down from generation to generation for centuries. The only thing that remains the same is the brik filo sheet and the moist filling.
Like the brik filo sheet used in the Almond Fingers, only a master artisan can get the consistency and thickness right.
The best almonds and hazelnuts in the Mediterranean are picked to make the filling. The nuts are then blended to make a crunchy mix that gets wrapped in a triangle-shaped filo sheet.
Next, the Samsa is soaked in a syrup flavored with orange blossom water, and topped off with sprinkles of chopped pistachios.
When you order a package, store it in a cold and dry place and serve it within a week. Or, refrigerate it for up to 4 weeks to make the yummy treats last a little longer.
If you have friends or family coming over, these delicious sweets will be an absolute hit. Sharing with loved ones signifies how much you care about them—especially when the sweets are so tasty, one could easily eat them all.
“What a nice treat! Little works of art.
All of the Layla’s Delicacies I’ve had were amazing. I really love that there are so many vegan treats. The Samsa pistachio is light and crunchy and so delicious. The flavor and texture are perfect and these, like the others I’ve tried, are sweet but not too sugary. And everything is so beautiful, and beautifully packaged.”

Item 3: Gift the Vegan Box (22 pc)
Christmas is all about gift-giving. If you’ve been brainstorming ideas about what to give to your vegan friends or family members, you don’t need to look any further than our Vegan Gift Box.
Consisting of an assortment of Tunisian sweets that come with a modern twist, the Vegan Gift Box offers you a range of unique culinary experiences. Inside the box, you’ll find sweet gems made up of:
- Chopped almond, and hazelnut topped with pistachio shaped like a pineapple (Pineapple Hazelnut)
- Almond and pistachio topped with a thin layer of dried rose petals (Bjewia Pistachio)
- Soft mixture of almond and hazelnut
- Soft mixture of almond and pistachio
- Jasmine flower-shaped soft mixture of almond and pistachio (Yasmina)
All the treats are kept well-balanced and aren’t too sweet. We do this by including more nuts (70%) so you can get more of the natural flavors involved, and a good dose of fiber and protein at the same time.
Furthermore, the design of the box, along with the arrangement of the treats, is enough to win the heart of any recipient. This is another reason why it makes the perfect gift for a loved one who’s vegan or vegetarian.
“Delicious! Highly recommend!
Purchased this box to treat ourselves. Best decision ever - absolutely delicious and beautiful presentation! My family immigrated to the US from Tunis, and aside from making them myself, I’ve never been able to find Tunisian treats locally. Will definitely be ordering again for the whole family!”
Christina (Manhattan, US)
Item 4: Vegan Box Limited Edition for the Holidays
If you’re looking for something a little more sophisticated, you can go for our Vegan Box Limited Edition. Containing 30 mouthwatering bite-size treats, this premium gift box is:

And that’s not all.
The French and the Italians who lived among the Tunisians refined the techniques used to make these delicacies.
All to give you a box filled with treasures that have journeyed through different times and cultures.
