Ingredients
300 gm Kunafa dough
100 gm melted butter
1 cup sugar and 1 & 1/2 cup water to make sugar syrup.
Pistachios
- For Layali Lubnan
5 cups milk
3/4th cup semolina not heaped
5 tbsp or less sugar or some condensed milk
- For Third Layer
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 small tin cream
100 ml fresh cream
1 sachet whip cream
Powdered pistachios
- Note : You may simply use kishta(cream) or whipped cream
Directions
Mix Kataifi(kunafa dough) with butter and layer it as a base bake it at @200 degrees preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. You may also pan roast it until golden brown.
Pour some of the sugar syrup immediately after baking.
Add some pistachios on top and keep it aside.
Prepare Layali lubnan – Mix milk, semolina, and sugar/condensed milk well in a saucepan and then bring to a boil on medium to high heat while continuously stirring and scraping the bottom (this step is important so the semolina doesn’t stick onto the bottom)
When the pudding starts to boil and thicken, remove from heat, add the rose water and orange blossom water, give it a good stir so they are well dissipated. The consistency should be creamy, not too thick. Immediately pour it on the kunafa base and spread it evenly. Let it cool completely at room temperature.
Blend well all the ingredients mentioned under the 3rd layer and spread it evenly.
Decorate it with pistachio and chill it. Pour sugar syrup before serving!
