We're approaching the celebration of Moulid El Naby and we all know the day is not complete without a big box of Halawet El Moulid, which we showed you how you can make at home.

However, what might help us hold back when it comes to Halawet El Moulid desserts, is getting to know how much calories they contain. Of course, you don't have to hold back if you don't want to and you can go ahead and enjoy as much as you want to. But, if you're someone who likes to be aware of the amount of calories they consume, this is for you.
