Ingredients

2 cups kunafah dough
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup melted better
180 gm Philadelphia cream cheese
2 tbsp pistachio powder for garnishing

For sugar Syrup

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp Rose water

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°c.
Grease a round cake tin or any heat proof round vessel with little butter and keep it ready
In a bowl crush kunafah dough using your hands.
I have used a food processor and grind for 3-4 seconds for 3 times only.
You can crush using your hands if you want long threads.
Add powdered sugar (helps to achieve that perfect Crispy texture) and melted butter.
Combine evenly.
Now move half this to the greased vessel and spread all over including the sides of the cake tin and press lightly with your hands.
Add cream cheese over this and spread all over.
I have not added anything to the cheese.
I like the rich cheese flavor. You can add cream if you like. Just reduce the cheese quantity to half and add thick cream and spread all over the kunafah dough.
Cover it with the remaining Kunafa dough and again press lightly to set it evenly.
Bake it in the preheated oven for about 40 – 45 minutes, or till the top portion turns golden & Crisp.
Prepare the sugar syrup by combining water, sugar, lemon juice and rose water in a sauce pan.
Boil and cook for 3-5 minutes.
sugar syrup is ready.
Remove the kunafah from the oven.
Pour 3tbsp of syrup all over the baked Kunafah.
Invert it to a plate and pour the remaining syrup over it.
Top it with powdered pistachios. Serve hot and enjoy
