Kanafeh is not a traditional Saudi dish yet it is one of the most popular desserts in Saudi Arabia and particularly around Ramadan. Like most favoured Saudi desserts, it is quite sweet and contains ample portions of sugar and melted butter. However this treat will indeed melt in the mouth and is delicious. If you click on the link I highlighted it will take you to a web page with a typical recipe for kanafeh. Kanafeh is widely available in all bakeries and grocery stores but it is also such a special treat that Saudi women will take great pride in making this dessert from scratch in their own homes. It is a middle-eastern dessert consisting of a base layer made of cheese mixed with milk/semolina (or cream) with a crispy layer of dried noodles with a slightly orange-ish colour and is often topped off with some syrup.
