Künefe is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert, particularly popular in Turkish cuisine. It is a type of dessert made by placing cheese inside thin strands of shredded phyllo dough. The cheese-filled phyllo layer is usually fried or baked in oil. Then, it is soaked in syrup and served hot. Künefe is a delicious dessert, especially when served with its crispy outer layer and warm cheese filling. It is often garnished with Antep pistachios or walnuts and can also be served with ice cream while still hot.
