Cream Kunafa

Kunafa or Kanafeh is a traditional Arab dessert made with noodle like pastry dough ,layered with cheese or cream fillings and soaked in sugar syrup .
The kunafa dough is available ready-made in most of the supermarkets in UAE .You can find them in the freezer section.
If the dough is not available in your region you can make them with roasted vermicelli also.
I made this with the store-bought kunafa dough and homemade cream filling.
