Heavenly Delight Kunafa

Indulge in the irresistible sweetness of my homemade kunata-crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside, and unbelievably easy to make!

Ingredients:
½ cup water
½ cup sugar.
A few drops of lemon juice
300g kunafa dough
12 tbsp/170gm of melted butter
1 cup mozzarella cheese
Crushed pistachios (for garnish)

Instructions:

Prepare the sugar syrup:
In a small pot, boil ½ cup of water and ½ cup of sugar over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add a few drops of lemon juice to prevent crystallization. Remove from heat and set aside.

Prepare the kunafa dough:
Separate 300g of kunafa dough into strands by hand. Mix the dough with 12 tablespoons of melted butter until evenly coated.

Assemble the kunafa:
Grease a stainless steel frying pan with butter.
Place half of the kunafa dough in the pan, pressing it down to form an even layer.
Cook on medium heat, rotating the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking. Spread 1 cup of mozzarella cheese over the dough. Cover with the remaining kunafa dough, pressing it down gently. Cook for about 15-20 minutes until the bottom layer turns golden brown. Then use a lid or plate to flip the kunafa over. Grease the pan again, return the kunafa, and cook the other side until golden brown.
Once both sides are golden and crispy, pour the prepared sugar syrup over the kunafa. Allow the syrup to soak in for a few minutes. Then Garnish with crushed pistachios.

Serve warm and enjoy your homemade delicious Kunafa!
