Servings:8
Ingredients
- 16-ounce kataifi (shredded phyllo dough)
- 15-ounce ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- One-third cup of white sugar
- 12 ounces of unsalted butter
For the syrup:
- 1 cup white sugar
- Half a cup of water
- One teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon rose water.
Method
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Finely chop the shredded phyllo dough. Pour the dough into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the ricotta, mozzarella, and 1/3 cup sugar.
Put the butter in a bowl and heat it until it is completely melted. Let it sit until a thick white foam comes on top. Use a spoon to skim off the foam to clarify the butter.
Pour the butter into the bowl of chopped dough. Mix the butter and dough together thoroughly. Spread the buttered dough into a 9×13-inch pan. Press the dough firmly into the bottom and edges. Spread the cheese mixture onto the dough, avoiding the edges.
Bake it in the preheated oven for about 30 to 35 minutes. The cheese will turn slightly brown and bubbly.
While the kanafa is in the oven, let’s get the syrup ready.
Take water and half a cup of sugar in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium to high flame. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the lemon juice, stir well.
Stir the mixture until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thickened. Don’t let the mixture caramelize. Now remove from heat and add the rosewater. Set aside to cool.
Remove the kanafa from the oven. Place a large platter or baking sheet over the baking dish. Invert the baking dish onto the platter, the phyllo is on top. Pour the syrup over the kanafa. Cut into as many pieces and serve while hot.
