These delightful cups of decadence, feature a bottom base of crushed KitKat and roasted peanuts, salted caramel sauce, a cloud-like peanut butter filling, all topped off with a chocolate ganache sauce, whipped cream and chunks of KitKat and peanut bits. VIDEO recipe at the end of the post!

Everyone's favorite campfire treat in a delectably convenient bar-form. Made off-the-charts delicious with the addition of KitKat, these bars are sure to become an instant hit! VIDEO recipe at the end of the post!

This easy ice cream pie is bursting with KitKat in every bite! Vanilla ice cream with crispy chunks of KitKat and swirls of salted caramel, sit atop a pie crust made from crushed KitKat bars. Delicious!

If you're looking for a simple to make lemon cake with bold lemon flavor and a soft and fluffy texture, look no further! This cake is bright and refreshing with a tender crumb that melts in the mouth!

Perfected recipe for Egyptian, bakery-style Ghorayeba cookies! Delicate, fine-textured, smooth and melts in the mouth delicious.

A show stopping ice cream cake with the much-loved flavors of the Middle East! Scented eshta no-churn ice cream with nibs of caramelized pistachios, swirls of pistachio butter and a crown of green pistachio kunafa on top. It is a pistachio lover dream come true and much easier to make than it seems. Plus...recipe VIDEO at the end of the post!

No Egyptian Eid is complete without Kahk. The lightly spiced crumbly cookie stuffed with sweet surprises and buried under a mountain of powdered sugar. Small in size, big in smiles, massive in history and tradition 🎈 .
.
This Eid, since we’re all stuck at home, I made our kahk tiny, about the size of grapes, so we can munch on them by the handful like popcorn as we do nothing in front of the TV 📺 🍿 .
.
I used the kahk recipe that I have on the blog (which I’ve recently updated with a few tweaks that made them even better) and rolled them into grape-sized balls. I filled half of them with toasted walnuts & left the other half plain. Either way, they’re unbelievably delicious, so fun and makes you feel like a giant as you hold them. You can get the recipe on www.cleobuttera.com of google ‘Cleobuttera Kahk.’ 🎉 .

Happy a wonderful Eid everybody 🥳

Kunafa...the darling of Middle Eastern cuisine and the Queen of Arab desserts. A year-round delicacy at every Mediterranean home, and far and beyond the most celebrated food item of the month of Ramadan 🌙
.
Made from golden, crispy, shredded strands of pastry goodness, doused with sugar syrup and filled with what ever your heart desires; traditionally stretchy cheese, nuts or cream.
.
.
Kunafa (or knafeh, kunefe, konafa, kadaifi, kataifi, or however you call it where you are in the world) has been the subject of creativity for modern home and professional bakers alike; myself guilty as charged😁
.
.
But no matter how delicious the new twists turn out to be, there’s something about the classics that just can’t be beat. This old fashioned cream-filled kunafa is the most popular variety in Egypt, where I’m from, and my personal soft spot. .
.
It’s been on the blog for the last 5 years, but I’ve been tweaking it all along until it has reached my definition of perfection. Every bite tastes like nostalgia covered in the most luxurious cream and crisp pastry. .
.
The recipe on the blog has been updated to its new and improved version, but the photos are still in dire need for a makeover. So cover up your eyes as you grab the recipe and try not to judge my old photography skills 🙈 There’s also a video tutorial on my highlights! 🌟

In celebration for today’s #arabites kunafa spam, alongside my favorite foodies, I’ve compiled some of my other kunafa creations for your eyes and stomachs to feast on. Swipe left ⬅️ to get a glimpse of them. All recipes are on my blog: www.cleobuttera.com. Type ‘kunafa’ or ‘konafa’ in the search bar.
