Künefe is a traditional Middle Eastern and Turkish dessert made with shredded phyllo dough (kadayıf), layers of melted cheese, and a fragrant sugar syrup infused with rosewater or orange blossom water. It's typically baked until golden and garnished with crushed pistachios. Originating from the Levantine region, künefe is beloved for its unique combination of crispy dough and gooey cheese. While it’s rich in flavor, künefe is also calorie-dense due to its sugar syrup, butter, and cheese content, making it a treat best enjoyed in moderation. The use of protein-rich cheese and nuts adds some nutritional value, but its high sugar and fat content outweigh the benefits for those monitoring calorie or saturated fat intake. This indulgent dessert is best appreciated as an occasional sweet experience within a balanced diet.
