Kunafa is a traditional Middle Eastern dessert bade with shredder filo pastry or fine semolina dough. The dough is soaked in sweet, sugar-based syrup and layered with Mozzarella. It is also layered with other creamy ingredients or nuts, but the actual taste and texture come only with Mozzarella. However, in different parts of the world, chefs and bakers keep coming up with their variants to replace the Mozzarella on Kunafa.
