The internet’s been obsessed with hyper-realistic fruit desserts ever since Cédric Grolet’s creations took over Instagram. And now? Cairo has its own version of these show-stopping fruit-shaped desserts, and they’re even better than they look.
Beloved dessert spot El Malky jumped on the trend with their Fruitina line, and let’s just say, it’s genius. Think glossy mangoes, lemons, grapes, and oranges that look straight from the market, but inside? Soft cake layers and creamy fruit-flavored filling that taste as dreamy as they look. They even have an ice cream version and a riz b laban version! The best part? These beauties are actually affordable, priced between 65 and 95 EGP each.
Over in Shorouk, RiWaLe Sweets took the trend up a notch. Their Mandarin Dessert is crafted from silky Belgian chocolate with an indulgent, citrusy filling hiding inside. It’s glossy, vibrant, and pure luxury in every bite. RiWaLe also offers Pistachio Desserts, Burrata-inspired creations, and Walnut Tartlets, each one sculpted to perfection. These desserts are more of a high-end splurge, priced around 400 EGP per piece, but they’re absolutely worth it for a gourmet experience.
So, What’s the Verdict?
Whether you’re into El Malky’s playful, budget-friendly Fruitina or RiWaLe’s elevated chocolate masterpieces, Cairo’s dessert scene is officially serving edible art this summer. Those fruit-shaped desserts are light, refreshing, and way too pretty to resist, so don’t be surprised if they become your new go-to sweet (and Instagram star) in Cairo.
