Egyptian Cream filled Konafa Recipe - Konafa Bel Creama

[@miakuusniemi155]

This was easy to make by following you reciept! Thank you! Even Finnish woman can do that now😂

[@MiddleEats]

Haha great to hear, I hope you liked it!

[@LivesOnStars]

I'm so glad I found your channel! Now I finally know what my old Egyptian neighbour's ultra-sweet frizzly flat cake thing was called! She used to make one for us every summer when I was a child, and I loved it. She was an amazing cook and spent most of the day in the kitchen with the doors open, so it always smelled great in our garden. I regretted never asking what it was called, but this is definitely it, looks exactly the same on the outside. Her version was without cream, though, and the texture inside was like a very, very dense and moist syrupy cake. Would the different filling also be a different recipe, or could this one be made without cream? This also looks declicious, but I'd like to make the version I know for nostalgia reasons. Looking through your other videos, I'm definitely going to try the tabouleh and falafel. Your way of explaining is really clear and relaxed, and I love that you explain why you are doing certain things certain ways. Good luck with your channel, and you have a new sub for sure.

[@amroxfaraj]

might be late but i think you’re thinking of basboosa?

[@tsw_atlas]

I’ve had kunaafa with cheese filling, cream filling, and no filling. Some people I know fill it with nuts as well.

[@hussamg]

Looks delicious is very tempting to watch Ramadan

[@TF-ve3vu]

ye

[@Dude902]

I did the ricotta cheese substitution for the cream. My Egyptian family always does it this way for simplicity.

[@anjnag6965]

Nice recipe and you have explained it very well. I already made Kunafe twice recently.

[@edithharmer1326]

OMG! DELICIOUS! GREAT TUTOR, WELL EXPLAINED ALL! EASIER TO FOLLOW TO GET IT RIGHT! THANK YOU FOR SHARING! GREETINGS FROM SINGAPORE!🌷 EDITH, A HAPPY SUBSCRIBER

[@sheryn61]

Thank you for making this! I've been looking for a video on Kunafah with a cream filling.

[@MiddleEats]

Glad to help.

[@naziras2376]

[@MiddleEats]

No problem at all, hope you try it out!

[@tacefairy]

This looks so good! I really enjoy your channel, I’ve seen so many new dishes and hope to make them soon :)

[@MiddleEats]

Thank you! This is one of the most popular desserts in the middle east so I'm sure you'd enjoy it!

[@001Lana001]

Nice video! Made it look super easy as well.

[@MiddleEats]

Thanks! I'm glad it was easy to follow.

[@ruqaiyahkhatab6061]

Just what I was looking for, will try

[@yumyum8331]

Mashallah looks sooo nice 😍

[@bellaverastegui1808]

My husband favorite kunafa

[@deetlebee]

Watching this in April 2021 and you have come so far in filming skills. Like this was great and a beautiful recipe, but I feel like you have grown so much. I found this recipe after seeing on twitter a almost mozzarella-stick version of knafeh that looked great. I'd love to try both versions sometime to compare. :)

[@MiddleEats]

Thanks, I actually put out a cheese konafa video last week. I always aim to improve with each and every video.

[@MsSonja123456]

Brilliant yummm 🌹

[@aroojasad5226]

Wow best recipe ever

[@MiddleEats]

Thank you!

[@TF-ve3vu]

mmm yum

[@truthseeker8205]

Tysm, it turned out really good!

[@jasmineelfiky1410]

I was going to tell u that should have been the celebration recipe of the 100k subscribers

[@ishish5879]

Thank you!

[@MusicBoxAlsoWater]

Thank you for this video! What kind of butter to use? Salted, unsulted, or is there a specific brand you recommend? Also, the crema, is that custard? I am trying to make this for my fiance who loves it with custard, but I'm unsure of the difference, as I heard you mention custard when making the cream. Thank you for your help!

[@MiddleEats]

Unsalted butter, otherwise the clarified butter can get too salty. It's not a custard perse as it does not contain any eggs. It's more of a thickened cream mixture. I'm sure this is what your fiance meant, as we don't do one with custard in Egypt.

[@abanvandrevala661]

What is mastic never heard before. I am from Mumbai India. What is the substitute.

[@zatoonh]

Love the cream one, but must have cheese in it as well

[@JohnAndJohner]

Since this thing is huge and makes the most sense to mass produce, how do you recommend eating the leftovers? Any good reheating methods or would you eat it cold?

[@iPRiNCESSMiMi]

I honestly like it cold, it’s amazing :)

[@Dr.spanishlatte]

What can be used to substitute mastic?

[@PriNceSsEmO2010]

Vanilla would be great

[@shanama858]

Hi.. may i know wats the purpose of mastic..? And also,wat did u add first ,before sugar..? Some white powder..

[@naziras2376]

Hi, it's cornstarch . If you click the description box you'll have the recipe and measurement.

[@golf3619]

Cool video. What is mastic?

[@MiddleEats]

Mastic is a resin that comes from Greek pine trees and has a gummy/piney flavor. It tastes similar to the smell of sawdust, but works great as a background flavor in stocks and desserts.

[@ibaly]

Yo Obie can u do basbousa?

[@MiddleEats]

Definitely! I'll work it in to my upcoming schedule.

[@joan2066]

Can we use all purpose cream?

[@saamiahaleem3700]

I’m not sure if I can find mastic here in supermarkets in saudi arabia. Is there an alternate to it?

[@MiddleEats]

You should be able to find it there, it's quite common. It's called mistika in Arabic. If not, just leave it out.

[@amanihassan9298]

can i use oil or ghee to make Kunafa? can i use butter without clarifying it?

[@MiddleEats]

Ghee is clarified butter, you can just melt it.

[@nosheenfaezehzar2192]

Why adding Mastic thanks

[@Retrocrzy]

My friends mother made me this delicious dessert but she said she used coconut cream instead. She is from Egypt. Have you ever made it like that?

[@lovequeen4169]

What is mastic???

[@susuhabibi]

is this like osmalieh?

[@curlandro5824]

Is is possible to add more cornstrach to the heavy cream instead of mastic?

[@MiddleEats]

The mastic is there for flavour not texture, just leave it out if you don't have any. Don't add extra cornstarch.

[@curlandro5824]

@@MiddleEats ah I understand! Thanks a lot! 😄

[@Mohammad.Adel.]

Don't you mean cornstarch? I don't think cornflour works here

[@HassanMohamed-us1yx]

Is the mastic for flavour only?

[@MiddleEats]

Yes

[@HassanMohamed-us1yx]

Thank you

[@g_b_m]

It's always better to use Indian Ghee instead of regular butter.

[@abellanetta]

you need more juice the quantity you put is not enough has to be wet full of juice

[@kholiotube5247]

Bro how did y grt that accent British

[@MiddleEats]

My mother is english. It's my nature accent.

[@Musatunc-ur5br]

Amigo hajsnsjs

[@Kamil-kg2ku]

As a Palestinian, no.

[@gardeniagorgeous4232]

That’s sad. Egyptians have totally embraced knafeh nabulsiya and you are choosing to miss out on a delicious creamy version that is just as good. Well, more for us!

[@happydillpickle]

Knafe Nablusiyeh is iconic🙂 Hey, but cream is delicious too!
