Masakat (Burmese: မာစကတ် or မာစကပ်; pronounced [màsəkaʔ]) is a traditional Burmese snack or mont. The snack is essentially a translucent pudding cooked with cashew nuts.

Masakat originates in Mandalay,^[1] and its origins are attributed to an Indian dessert of the same name.^[2] The term masakat is likely cognate with Acehnese meuseukat, a confection popular in Aceh, Indonesia. The dessert is likened to Karachi halwa, and is made with corn starch, sugar, butter, cardamom seeds, and cashew nuts.^[3]
