About Knafeh rolls

Knafeh Rolls are a delightful variation of the Middle Eastern dessert, knafeh, which originated in Levantine cuisine. These rolls consist of shredded phyllo dough (kataifi) wrapped around a creamy cheese filling, traditionally made with a mild, stretchy cheese like Nabulsi or Akkawi. The rolls are baked or fried until golden, then soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup infused with rosewater or orange blossom for added richness and aroma. Knafeh Rolls are often topped with crushed pistachios, adding a nutty crunch to the dessert. While indulgent in flavor, they are high in sugar and saturated fats, making them a treat best enjoyed in moderation. The use of pistachios contributes healthy fats and protein, while kataifi provides carbohydrates for energy. Perfect for special occasions, Knafeh Rolls offer a taste of culinary tradition with a modern twist, celebrating the rich flavors of their Middle Eastern heritage.
