1 16oz package cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
2 tbs sugar
1 tbs vanilla

3 tbs sugar
2 cups kadaifi (shredded philo dough)

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

little bit of simple syrup on top for glaze and enjoy.
