Toffee Kunafa with Coconut Sauce

Let’s start 2019 with a sweet note! 😊😊This toffee( dulce de leche) kunafa with coconut sauce will blow you away! Sounds interesting right?? It tasted awesome too! Just loved the crunchy and creamy kunafa in the different avatar! A totally different version of Arabic Kunafa, but tasted heavenly. Tried to bring fusion in Arabic dessert and wala!

This Kunafa i served in a tall glass with crunchy buttery kataif dunked in a coconut sauce and then layered with toffee cream and whip cream with some pistachios and then chilled and served! Here the whole idea is to create a simple recipe that can serve in a single serving glass or tall glass! Authentic kunafa is baked one with cream or cheese. This one is not baked but sauteed the kataifi in butter and make it brown and crunchy, and then layer it with toffee cream and whipped cream. To sweeten the kataifi instead of sugar syrup I used coconut toffee sauce and it was yum!

Today I’m pairing with my friend Asheera @Ashees cookbook to celebrate the new year and to make it sweeter! So don’t forget to step to her page to see her Kunafa Tiramisu! Woow that sounds delicious right? So let this year be a new and refreshing start to all like this kunafa! Toffee and Coffee flavor in kunafa is surely an interesting combination, isn’t it? Don’t forget to watch the video till the end to see Ashi’s version of Tiramisu Kunafa

Hope you guys will take this recipe wholeheartedly! I know there will be many who likes only the authentic version! My hubby too started having it by saying the same and then he wowed for this one Yay! Hehe
