What is bamba?
Hi Roz! Bamba is a peanut butter flavored snack popular in Israel and it’s delicious! Link with info here.
Wow!! This looks amazing! I’m so happy I came upon this recipe as I was searching for a recipe with Bamba! Lol! I don’t usually eat sour cream( unless it’s with latkis on Chanukah) so I’d prefer not to buy it just for this recipe. Can I use something else instead of sour cream for this recipe like milk, cottage cheese, cream cheese, ricotta cheese,feta cheese, or any type of pizza cheese?
Enjoy it!
