The first time I tried this recipe was when my friends son turned 1.
I showed up uninvited to her house in the morning offering a helping hand. That helping hand turned into a tasting frenzy and I fell in love, the original recipe uses ground pistachios but this year she taught me to do it with a twist. She actually taught my daughter Hana.
Happy reading and please do try it, it’s a delicious recipe and is worth 30 minutes of your time. It may look long and complex but its not as much of a hassle as you may think it is.
Kit Kat Knafeh
Crunchy kunafa cones filled with a mix of cream cheese, tahini, and kit kat then sprinkled more crushed kit kat. What more would you ask for?
Equipment
- Hand Mixer
- Pastry Cones
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cream Cheese Softened
- 1/4 Cup Tahini
- 1/3 Cup Powder Sugar
- 1/2 Cup Crushed KitKat Approximately 6 fingers
- Butter for rubbing cones
- Kuanfa Dough
- Oil for Frying
- Additional crushed KitKat for Garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar, and tahini until creamy. Fold in crushed kitkat, and refrigerate.
- Butter your pastry cones and carefully wrap the Kunafa dough around them. Seal with a glue paste made of equal amounts of flour and water (1/4 cup flour + 1/4 cup water).
- Heat up some oil in a pan and carefully drop in the cones. I recommend using skewers to drop them, turn them, and take them out. Tongs would break the dough. Frying will take around 30 seconds per side. Do NOT leave unattended.
- Once the dough has cooled down (this should take just a few moments) carefully remove the cones, and begin filling each tube with the delicious mixture.
- Garnish with additional KIT KAT AND SERVE.
Notes
This recipe originally belongs to my friend Inaam. She makes it and it's a crowd pleaser whenever there is a gathering at her home. Thank you so much Nana for sharing with me and my family.
