Kunafa Recipe Arabic Style | Cheese Kunafa Recipe | Easy Kunafa Recipe in Oven

Easy Perfect Kunafa Recipe, Crispy shredded pastry filled with a layer of ooey and gooey stretchy Mozarella Cheese nestled between a rose water scented Creamy Milk pudding that keeps the cheese from hardening even after it cools. A Rose and Orange blossom water scented sugar syrup is then poured on it garnished with crushed Pistachios making it a Beautiful Aromatic Middle Eastern Dessert.

A common story is that the dish was created, and prescribed by doctors, to satisfy the hunger of caliphs during Ramadan. So it’s the perfect dessert to serve during Ramadan ☪️🥰

𝗜𝗡𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗦

230gm Kunafa dough
4 Tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 Cup | 100gm melted Ghee/Clarified Butter

3/4 Cup | 180gm Sugar
3/4 Cup | 180ml water
Few drops of Lemon juice

𝗠𝗘𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗗

👩‍🍳 Prepare the Sugar syrup by heating Sugar and Water on Low Heat. Simmer for 5 mins. Add Lemon juice, Rose water and Orange Blossom water.

👩‍🍳 Make the Cream Filling by mixing Cornstarch to Cold milk. Whisk well till no lumps. Add Whipping Cream, Sugar and Rose Water. Cook & Stir till it becomes thick.

👩‍🍳 Make Crushed Pistachios by soaking pistachios in hot water for 15mins. Remove the skin, strain and wash. Dry roast on low heat for 5 mins. Coarsely Chop them in a chopper. Mix with green food color. Dry roast again on low heat few minutes till dry. Keep refrigerated airtight.

👩‍🍳 Make the Kunafa dough by cutting the dough into small strands. Mix powdered sugar, melted Ghee.

👩‍🍳 Take a 9 inch baking tin. Grease it with 1 Tbsp room temperature butter mixed with orange food color. Layer with Kunafa dough, half of the cream filling, mozzarella & rest of the cream filling. Cover with Kunafa dough. Drizzle with Ghee.

👩‍🍳 Bake at 200C for 25-30Mins or till Golden Brown. Drizzle with half of the sugar syrup while it’s hot. Reverse the side. Garnish with Pistachios.

Note: Authentic Kunafa uses only Akkawi or Nabulsi Cheese or String cheese (Dil Peyniri) which stays soft and stretchy even after cooling but rarely available, so instead Mozarella can be used along with a Cream layer which will keep the Mozarella from hardening after cooling and give almost same Cheesy texture.
