About Knafeh
Knafeh is a Middle Eastern dessert known for its rich flavor and comforting texture. Originating from regions like Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, this indulgent treat consists of shredded phyllo dough or semolina pastry layered with gooey, melted cheese or cream, and soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup. Typically garnished with crushed pistachios or other nuts, Knafeh is celebrated for its balance of sweet and savory notes. While it provides energy through carbohydrates and some protein from the cheese, it’s also high in sugar and saturated fats, making it best enjoyed in moderation. With variations tailored to different local cuisines, it carries cultural significance as a beloved dish often served during holidays and celebrations. For a healthier twist, some recipes use lighter cheese and less syrup while maintaining its iconic flavor and texture.
