Knafeh

For those with a sweet tooth, Knafeh is an absolute must-try street food when in Jerusalem. This indulgent pastry is a true delight for the senses, with its combination of textures and flavors. Knafeh consists of a layer of gooey, melted cheese sandwiched between layers of crispy, shredded phyllo dough. The contrast between the warm, soft cheese and the crunchy phyllo creates a unique and satisfying texture experience.

To add to its delectable appeal, Knafeh is then generously soaked in a sweet sugar syrup, infusing every bite with a delightful sweetness. The syrup helps to soften the phyllo dough and enhances the overall richness of the pastry. The finishing touch is a sprinkling of crushed pistachios on top, adding a subtle nuttiness and a touch of color to the dessert.
