Knafeh with mango and cream
Easier dessert and a delicious twist to the original knafeh recipe, load it with mango or your favorite fruit.
Ingredients
- 1 lb of frozen Kataifi - knafeh.
- ½ cup of butter.
- 2 envelopes Dream Whip.
- 1 cup of mango juice.
- 3 ripe mangos - diced.
- For the syrup: 2c sugar + 1 c of water + 1 teaspoon of lime juice.
Instructions
- Rub the frozen knafeh with your fingers to cut it into small pieces.
- Meanwhile combine the ingredients of the syrup, bring to a boil then reduce heat, simmer for 10 minutes until thickened, let it cool down to room temperature.
- Melt butter and add to the knafeh, mix knafeh and butter with hand.
- Brush two identical oven safe pans with a tablespoon each of melted butter - I've used two 12inch
- pizza pans- spread half of the knafeh in each pan and press tightly with a bowl.
- Bake in a 350F oven until golden brown.
- Prepare the Dream Whip according to package direction using the mango juice.
- When the knafeh is done drizzle both parts with some syrup.
- Turn one part upside down, spread about ⅔ of the cream filling.
- Add mango pieces, then the other half of the knafeh.
- Decorate with the rest of the whipping cream.
Another easier way - Knafeh parfait
- First melt the butter then add the knafeh
- Until golden brown, add the syrup and stir.
- This time I've made the whipping cream with milk.
- Layer knafeh, cream and mango slices.
- Decorate with more mango on top.... Enjoy
