Knafeh Kezabi

Knafeh Kezabi

Prep:5minCook:30min

This Knafeh is different to the traditional cheese or ashta knafeh, hence why I’ve called it the Knafeh Kezabi 😅 The filling is more of a thick pudding style which consists of Semolina, Cream & Milk. This recipe was passed down from our Mumma bear and we have been making it for over a decade! My entire family prefer it over the real Knafeh & once you try it, you will understand why! 😉💗
