Kunafa (or Knafeh) is a delicious and traditional Middle Eastern dessert known for its unique, rich flavors and textures. Made with thin, shredded phyllo dough or semolina, it’s often layered with a creamy cheese filling or clotted cream (ashta), then baked to a golden crisp. Once out of the oven, kunafa is soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup, which infuses it with sweetness and an aromatic touch of rose or orange blossom water. It’s often garnished with crushed pistachios for an added crunch. Warm and indulgent, kunafa is enjoyed as a luxurious dessert at celebrations, family gatherings, or special occasions
