Steps

1

Divide the knafeh pastry in half. Take the first half and crumble it finely, then mix it with the melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a baking pan.
2

In a saucepan, combine the milk and water over medium heat. When it starts to boil, add the cornstarch (dissolved in a few drops of water) and pour it into the milk mixture, stirring constantly until it thickens quickly. Add the cream and keep stirring. Add the rose water and mix well.
3

Pour this cream mixture over the first layer of knafeh in the pan.
4

Top with the second half of the knafeh pastry, pressing it down firmly with your hands. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Remove from the oven, pour the cold thick syrup evenly over the hot knafeh, and garnish with chopped pistachios.

Enjoy!
