Knafi *

Kunafa is one of the most popular oriental sweets that spread widely through Palestine and Syria. It is usually served during family gatherings and graduation parties. There are two types of kunafa: soft and rough; the only difference between the two is the type of dough used underneath the melting cheese.  After baking and while it is still nice and hot, caramelized sugar syrup is poured on top of the cheese to seep through to the dough. Then, the big plate of kunafa is flipped upside down, garnished with crushed pistachios, and is ready to be served and enjoyed!

Ingredients: Vermicelli, stuffed with Cream or Cream Cheese, Sugar Syrup and Pistachio topping
