This recipe makes delicious mini Knafeh, a seriously easy and best dessert perfect for loved ones. The same technique can be applied to a larger pan for a traditional Knafeh.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin and set aside. To a bowl, crumble the ackawi and mozzarella cheese and mix together; set aside. To another bowl, tear apart the shredded phyllo dough and add the melted butter, ensuring all the dough is coated. Layer half the phyllo dough to the bottom of each muffin cup, pressing the dough down for an even layer. Add the cheese mixture on top. Add the remainder of the phyllo dough to the muffin cups and press it all down to ensure your layers are uniform. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden in color. Remove from the oven and add the sugar syrup. Allow to cool slightly, remove from the muffin tin and sprinkle on the pistachios. Enjoy while it's hot!
