About Knafeh ball
Knafeh Ball is a bite-sized twist on the traditional Middle Eastern dessert Knafeh, celebrated for its rich flavors and delightful texture. Made with shredded phyllo dough or semolina, the outside is crispy and golden, encasing a core of warm, gooey sweet cheese or cream filling. A drizzle of sugar-based syrup infused with rose or orange blossom water adds a fragrant touch. Originating from Levantine cuisine, knafeh balls are known for their indulgent taste but are calorie-dense due to the frying technique, refined sugar, and dairy content. While they do offer a small calcium boost from the cheese, their high sugar and fat content make them an occasional treat rather than a regular snack. For a slightly healthier version, baking instead of deep-frying and reducing syrup can make them lighter while preserving their delicious appeal. Perfect for sharing, they offer a flavorful snapshot of Middle Eastern culinary heritage.
