So I know I haven’t been posting about too many Ramadan-esque recipes but it’s only because I’m experimenting with different fillings and crusts.
Last Friday for my uncle’s futoor gathering, I created a kanafa with a creamy semolina filling.

So you must be wondering why the radio silence in Ramadan nonetheless!
Well I’m experimenting with a new kanafa recipe and haven’t perfected it yet so I diverged and made many kanafas!
Also work has been crazy busy!
Kanafa with khashkawan cheese – perfect texture but still on the salty side
Pistachio kanafa bil smeed (my experiment) with ricotta cheese – strange after taste
Pistachio kanafa bil smeed with akawi cheese – something happened to the cheese! I need to rework something there.
Kanafa with creamy ricotta filling (adapted from a book) with honey sugar syrup – loved it and will post its recipe.
So here’s a slideshow of some of the kanafas I made
My first kanafa of the season!
This time with nabulsi cheese. I used the same recipe as here but instead of the akawi cheese, I used nabulsi.
As with akawi cheese, you need to soak the cheese 3-4 hours, changing the water every 30 minutes.
I personally prefer it with akawi or even ricotta cheese but it wasn’t bad. Actually most people liked it.
As a special request from my sister Besma, (who is yet to try it!) here below is kanafa bil smeed with ricotta cheese…
I quite liked the contrast between the creamy texture of the ricotta cheese and the grainy texture of the semolina crust. And was quite yummy.
