Serves: 8-10
Difficulty: Easy
Prep and Cook time: 1 hour
1 16oz package cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tbs sugar
1 tbs vanilla
1 tbs orange blossom water
1 tbs rose water
1 tbs orange zest
1 egg
1/2 cup melted butter
3 tbs sugar
2 cups kadaifi (shredded philo dough)
1/2 cup toasted coconut
1/2 cup ground pistachios
1/2 cup simple syrup (see recipe)
Preheat
the oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl, using a blender or hand
mixer, add cream cheese, sour cream and sweetened condensed milk until
well blended. Next, add the sugar, vanilla, orange and rose water and
orange zest and blend well for 1 minute. Add egg and blend for 30
seconds. In a separate bowl break up the kadaifi and add the 3 tbs
sugar and butter and mix well. In a muffin tin or in a regular cheese
cake pan, line it with the kadaifi pastry along the bottom and side of
the pan. Pour in the cheese cake filling 80% of the way of the pan.
Place in the oven and cook for 20-30 minutes, more around 25 minutes.
Remove from oven and cool completely or overnight before serving. TOp
with some of the simple syrup, coconut or pistachio or both and then a
little bit of simple syrup on top for glaze and enjoy.
would you use sweet cream butter and if so would that be salted or unsalted?
Thanks so much!!!
