Kanafeh
Knafeh[1] (Arabic: كنافة), also spelt kanafa, kunafa, kanafeh, and knafe,[2] is a traditional Arab dessert[3] made with spun pastry called kataifi[4][5][6] soaked in a sweet, sugar-based syrup called attar, and typically layered with cheese, or with other ingredients such as clotted cream, pistachio or nuts, depending on the region.[7] It is a traditional dessert in the Levant, and is popular in countries such as Lebanon.[8][7][9][10][11] In Turkey, it is called künefe.[12] Different variants of the dish exist in Palestinian, Turkish, Iranian, and Greek cuisine.
