Kunafa Pastry with sugar syrup:
When I first saw the recipe of this beautiful puff pastry on Savoury & Sweet food I instantly knew, I had to make it. The photos on her page was so tempting that I could wait no more. I couldn’t get my hands on ricotta cheese. So I Just used double cream as the filling. And omg! it was one !! If you want to try it with ricotta and cream or mascarpone and double cream, please do! and let me know how it turned out in the comment box! I’m sure that would be heavenly !Notes: For the mascarpone -cream filling, take same amount of double cream and mascarpone cheese. Soften the cheese in a bowl using a spatula first and then add this to the whipped cream, and then whip again until a peak is formed.
