Püf Noktaları
To achieve the perfect kunefe, make sure the cheese is adequately melted but not overcooked to remain gooey. Using a combination of cheeses can enhance flavor. It's essential to pour the syrup over the hot dessert immediately after baking to ensure it soaks well. Keep an eye on the phyllo dough while baking to prevent burning. Additionally, letting it sit for a few minutes before serving will help set the syrup.
