Kunafa

Hafiz Mustafa's Kunafa encloses Hatay künefe cheese within fine shredded phyllo, with crisp golden pastry around a warm cheese center. Cooked on small copper plates, the dessert receives hot syrup after preparation. Pistachio adds a fragrant nut finish across the pastry. The cheese's savory character complements the syrup's sweetness through the traditional Turkish recipe, with the fine strands supplying a delicate crunch around the tender center.
