It is the Holy month of Ramadan and we serve a lot of those kind of desserts everyday. Trust me , it is delicious with the additional spices.
Ingredients
- 1 (1 pound) package Kataifi shopping list
- (2 sticks/8 oz./226g) butter or ghee , melted shopping list
- 2 tbsp pistachios shopping list
- 2 tbsp hazelnuts shopping list
- 2 tbsp pecans shopping list
- 2 tbsp almonds shopping list
- 2 tbsp sugar shopping list
- ½ tsp nutmeg shopping list
- ½ tsp cinnamon shopping list
- 1 tbsp butter or ghee softened shopping list
- Syrup: shopping list
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar shopping list
- 1 cup water shopping list
- juice of 1/2 lemon shopping list
How to make it
- Make syrup:
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, add water, the 1 1/2 cups sugar and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil. Let simmer to a syrupy consistency. Remove from heat, let cool.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F/180 degrees C. Butter a 12-inch round, 2-inch high cake pan.
- In a large bowl gently loosen kataifi. Mix very well with the melted butter or ghee. Cover the cake pan with half of the kataifi. Press down lightly with a glass or a measuring cup or use another similar cake pan.
- Mix the nuts, sugar and spices in a food processor together and sprinkle evenly over the kataifi dough half. Dot with softened butter or ghee. Cover with the remaining half of the kataifi. Press down gently. Drizzle 3 tbsp of the melted butter or ghee over the top. Bake until lightly golden, about 30 to 45 minutes. (Note: the reverse side will be more golden when you turn it out.)
- Immediately pour cold sugar syrup evenly over the hot kunafa. Let cool completely to room temperature. Invert onto serving plate and decorate with ground pistachios.
