KĆ¼nefe ($14.90) A must-try Turkish dessert, kĆ¼nefe is made with tel kadayf aka shredded phyllo dough, cheese, and syrup. Layers of shredded phyllo dough and buttery, melty soft cheese are topped with pistachios, baked to a golden, crispy finish, and finally soaked in a sweet syrup. The result is a dessert with a crispy, sweet exterior and a warm, savoury, melty interior. Pouring the heavy cream on top adds extra richness. Iām glad the sweetness is just right for local tastes, as traditional Turkish desserts can often be very sweet.
