Knafeh Recipe

Heat the milk mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly. Bring it to a boil and continue to cook until the mixture visibly thickens, becoming like a custard. Remove from the heat and let it cool down for a few minutes.

Once slightly cooled, stir in the 1 cup of mozzarella until it's fully incorporated and starts to melt into the warm mixture.

In a small pan, combine the 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Let it simmer for 4–5 minutes, or until it slightly thickens, stirring occasionally.

Remove from heat and stir in the 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of rose water.
