Ingredients
- 1 Cup Cream Cheese (Softened)
- 1/4 Cup Tahini
- 1/3 Cup Powder Sugar
- 1/2 CupCrushed KitKat (Approximately 6 fingers)
- Butter for rubbing cones
- Kuanfa Dough
- Oil for Frying
- Additional crushed KitKat for Garnish
Method
- 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.
