Kunafa with Cream Is Easy To Make

Kunafa can be filled or layered with sweet cheese or cream; it can be soft or thick and crispy one. No matter how it is made, Kunafa with Cream pleases everyone.

Everyone love Kunafa

Arab men tend to compare beautiful women to Kunafa, and the reason behind it is that this dessert represents everything that is there in an attractive woman.

The crisp texture from the outside is like women who play hard to get, then comes the soft texture of cream beneath that layer, which represents the softness of a women’s heart and nature.

Later comes the syrup, poured on top, and they say that it is the sweet words women say when in love. You must be wondering about the pistachio, well, that is the makeup women wear to enhance their beauty.

Moderation is the key

But there is one negative thing about this dessert, it is very high in calories. One serving of Kunafa is around 580 – 630 calories. See what I mean?

Not to worry! You’ll have this delight and won’t feel guilty but only if you made my version … Yes, I admit, this is the fake version, and it is called in Arabic (Kunafa Kaddabeh). However, it tastes EXACTLY if not better than what’s baked in bakeries.

Your family and friends will ask for more, and why not since one serving of this version of Kunafa with Cream is only 112 calories.
