Knafeh - Traditional Middle Eastern dessert 

Knafeh, also known as Kunafa, is a cheese and dough pastry from the Middle East that is drizzled with a sugary syrup. The flavor is soft, creamy, and subtly sweet. Nothing beats Kunafa when it comes to trying a dessert that has satisfied palates for ages. The dish is a show-stopping supper, according to 196 Flavors, because of its vivid orange and green colors. Kunafa should be consumed as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Get your delicious Kunafa at our Turkish bakery and enjoy traditional middle eastern dessert at the comfort of your home.

Whats Knafeh

This cheese dessert is enclosed in this buttery, flaky pastry that is prepared from shredded phyllo and derives some of its taste from sweet cheese. Kunafa is a delicious dessert that is finished with a simple syrup drizzle and pistachios that have been crushed to create a richer texture. This basic recipe has been modified by many places in accordance with their local produce, leading to a variety of kunafas around the world.

What Makes Kunafa Special?

Knafeh is a dessert that embodies the perfect balance of flavors and textures:

• Crunchy Exterior: The golden, crispy shredded phyllo dough provides a satisfying crunch.
• Creamy Center: The rich cheese filling melts in your mouth, offering a luscious contrast to the crisp pastry.
• Sweet Syrup: A drizzle of rose water or orange blossom-infused syrup enhances the dessert’s aroma and sweetness.
• Nutty Garnish: Crushed pistachios sprinkled on top add a layer of texture and earthy flavor.
• Knafeh is best enjoyed fresh, straight out of the oven when the cheese is still gooey and the syrup is perfectly soaked into the layers.
