Fake kunafa with toast is a simple and fast recipe that gives you almost the same original kunafa flavor without using traditional kunafa dough. It relies on crispy toasted bread with a rich, creamy filling, making it a perfect dessert for guests or a quick sweet treat prepared in minutes.
Ingredients
White toast bread, crusts removed: 12 slices
Butter: ½ cup (melted)
Fresh cream (qishta): 1 can
Cream cheese: 2 tablespoons
Sugar: 2 tablespoons
Vanilla: ½ teaspoon
Ground pistachios: 2 tablespoons (for garnish)
Sugar syrup: 1 cup (warm)
Preparation Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Brush the toast slices with a little butter, then cut them into small crumbs.
Place the crumbled toast in a buttered baking tray and lightly toast until it turns a light golden color.
In a bowl, mix the cream, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Divide the toasted bread into two portions. Press the first layer gently into the tray.
Pour the cream mixture over the first layer, then add the second layer of toasted bread evenly on top.
Drizzle the remaining melted butter over the surface.
Bake in the oven for 10–15 minutes until the top is golden.
Remove from the oven and immediately pour the warm sugar syrup over the dessert.
Garnish with ground pistachios and serve hot or warm, as desired.
