In reply to Amy Shahbaz. Hello Amy, the filling doesn't need to be too thick. It's ok if it was a little runny, but feel free to add more cream of wheat to thicken it a bit :)

I’m having a hard time getting the filling to thicken. Should I just add more cream of wheat? It spills out from my pan as it’s cooking.

In reply to Olga. I'm really confused. I didn't see anymore mention of the ricotta cheese.

Thank you so much for the recipe! Everyone at home loved it. I thought it would be complicated, but it was easier than baking a cake. Not to mention your instructions were very clear, I love it!
Thanks again!

In reply to Noor. Hello Noor, Yes, you can assemble the Knafeh the night before, warp in an airtight plastic wrap and place in the fridge till the next day. Try to bring it to room temperature before baking or just increase the baking time by few minutes. Knafeh is best enjoyed warm, so this is actually the best way to ensure you eat it fresh! Hope this helps.

Hi ! I’ve never made kunafa this way. Is it possible to assemble in advance and bake the next day ? Thank you

In reply to Mike. Wow, Mike! You're on the roll with trying all these Lebanese recipes! So happy you and your family have been liking The Salt and Sweet Kitchen's recipes :) Knafeh is a favorite of mine!

In reply to Mike. Hello Mike, Shredded salted mozzarella cheese won't work for knafeh. If you are located in the US, I always buy BELGIOIOSO CHEESE, it works great. If not, I know in Lebanon, they buy regular salted mozzarella, and they soak it for few days in water in the fridge. Keep changing water, until it loses most of its salt. Hope this helps!

Store bought shredded mozzarella cheese bag comes salted, is it okay to use it?
I didn’t find unsalted bag.
Do I have to do something to it before baking ?

In reply to Mila. Hello Mila, sorry about that. Yes, I add Mozzarella and ricotta cheese together. Hope this helps, let me know how it turns out for you!

My only question is what about the ricotta cheese as you haven’t mentioned whether to put it along with the mozerella oR not. The rest sounds very good especially the cream of wheat – will definitely try after I hear from you thanks a lot

This kunafa recipe was exceptionally good! I love that you make the semolina Pudding with it. Other recipes only include cheese! So good.

Great recipe, very easy and my husband said it tasted just like Lebanon. I skipped the ricotta and used “sweet cheese” that I got at a middle Eastern grocery store
