KUNAFA BIL-JIBN

sweet cheese pie

This rich and luxurious cheese pie is made by layering desalted cheese with qataifi (“hair” pastry), as it is known in Arabic. In some parts of the Middle East and Turkey, the pastry is left whole, whereas in Lebanon it is crumbled to resemble coarse semolina. It is one of the great Middle Eastern confections, satisfying and incredibly delicious, and it’s one of the first things I rush to eat when I go back home to Lebanon. This recipe is for the Lebanese version, but if you want to make the other version, see the Variation. Look for Akkawi cheese, a semihard white brine cheese, at Middle Eastern markets. This pie is often served with sesame galettes.
