Heviin boov (Mongolian: ул боов) is a traditional Mongolian biscuit assembled in layers and often served as a New Year food.[1] The number of layers in the cake represents the status of the family. The individual biscuits are stamped with a wooden block that imprints a design unique to the family, passed down through generations. It is traditionally served with aaruul in between the layers or on top.[2]
