Vegan Knafeh / Künefe recipe (How To Make)
Recipe Information
Knafeh
Cultural Context
Knafeh is a beloved dessert originating from the Levant region, particularly associated with Syrian and Palestinian cuisine. Traditionally served during celebrations and special occasions, this sweet pastry features layers of shredded dough filled with cheese and soaked in fragrant syrup. Today, variations of knafeh can be found worldwide, with each region adding its unique twist to this classic treat.
Start by preparing the syrup: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar on low heat.
Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved, being careful not to let it boil.
Add a teaspoon of lemon juice and rose water to taste, stirring continuously.
Let the syrup simmer for about 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly, then set aside to cool.
Prepare the vegan cheese: In a blender, combine soaked cashews, 275 ml of water, 4 tablespoons of tapioca starch, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar, and a pinch of salt.
Blend until smooth and creamy, resembling a smoothie.
Transfer the blended mixture into a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until it forms a single clump or ball.
Once it forms a ball, remove from heat and set aside.
Melt the vegan butter in the microwave until liquid, then add a few drops of red food dye to achieve an orange tint, mixing well.
Shred 150 grams of kadaif into fine pieces using scissors or a knife.
Mix the shredded kadaif with the melted vegan butter until evenly coated, adjusting the color with food dye as necessary.
In a non-stick pan, press down half of the coated kadaif to form a base layer on low heat, cooking until crispy and golden brown.
Once the base is ready, flip it onto a plate and layer the vegan cheese mixture on top, spreading it evenly.
Cover the cheese with the remaining kadaif, pressing down gently to form a top layer.
Cook on low heat, turning the pan occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the top is golden and crispy.
