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.
