Steps

  1. 1

    In a baking pan, combine the shredded knafeh dough with the melted butter and vegetable oil. Rub the dough well to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Bake in a preheated oven at medium heat for about 15 minutes. Stir every 5 minutes so it browns evenly on all sides.

  3. 3

    In a saucepan, combine 4 cups of milk, the heavy cream, and sugar. Stir well.

  4. 4

    In a separate pot over heat, mix the extra 1 cup of milk with the cornstarch. Stir until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.

  5. 5

    When the milk mixture is hot, add the cornstarch mixture and stir constantly until the mixture thickens into a creamy consistency. Add the ground mastic, orange blossom water, and rose water, then remove from heat.

  6. 6

    Pour the cream mixture into glass cups.

  7. 7

    Layer the knafeh over the cream in the cups. You can add pieces of strawberry or any fruit between the layers. Sprinkle ground pistachios on top.

  8. 8

    Serve cold.
