About Kunafa with cheese
Kunafa with cheese is a beloved Middle Eastern dessert known for its rich, indulgent flavors and unique texture. Originating from countries like Palestine, Lebanon, and Turkey, this dish is made by layering shredded phyllo dough or semolina pastry with a stretchy, mildly salty cheese such as Akkawi or Nabulsi. It is baked to golden perfection and then soaked in a fragrant sugar syrup often infused with rose or orange blossom water. The dish is typically garnished with crushed pistachios for added texture and flavor. While Kunafa is undeniably delicious, it is high in sugar, fats, and calories, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. The cheese provides protein and calcium, while the pistachios offer healthy fats and nutrients. However, the syrup and buttery pastry contribute to its richness in sugars and saturated fats, limiting its standing as a health-conscious option.
