Description
Konafa, also known as kunafa or kanafeh, is a popular Egyptian dessert that has been enjoyed for centuries. It is a pastry made with thin, noodle-like pastry called “shredded phyllo dough” that is layered with cheese, soaked in a sweet syrup, and often topped with nuts or shredded coconut. The dish has Middle Eastern roots, with variations found throughout the region, but it has become a staple dessert in Egypt and is often served during special occasions like weddings and holidays. Its rich, sweet flavor and unique texture make it a beloved treat for those with a sweet tooth.
