About Knafe
Knafe, a beloved dessert from Middle Eastern cuisine, is a sweet and indulgent pastry made with shredded phyllo dough or semolina, layered with stretchy cheese or cream, and soaked in fragrant sugar syrup flavored with rose water or orange blossom. Often topped with crushed pistachios, this treat is served warm, offering a delightful contrast of textures—crispy, gooey, and syrupy. It originated in regions like Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, where it’s a staple at celebrations and gatherings. While Knafe provides energy through carbohydrates and fats, it is typically high in sugar and calories, making moderation key for a healthy diet. The inclusion of nuts boosts its profile with heart-healthy fats and vitamins. For a lighter option, some recipes use less syrup or swap out full-fat dairy for alternatives. Knafe is a testament to the rich and flavorful culinary traditions of the Middle East.
