About Cheese kunafa
Cheese Kunafa is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert with roots in Levantine cuisine, known for its indulgent flavor and rich texture. It consists of shredded kadaif (phyllo pastry) layered with creamy, stretchy cheese, typically Akkawi or Nabulsi, and soaked in a fragrant syrup made from sugar, water, and orange blossom or rose water. The dish is often garnished with crushed pistachios for added flavor and texture. While Cheese Kunafa offers calcium and protein from the cheese and nuts, its high sugar content and the butter or clarified butter used in preparing the pastry make it a calorie-dense treat. As such, it’s best enjoyed in moderation, especially for individuals monitoring sugar intake or dietary fat. Cheese Kunafa represents a celebration-worthy dessert, combining comforting flavors with cultural significance, making it both a treat for the palate and a nod to Middle Eastern culinary traditions.
