Ingredients:
250 grams kunafa dough (kadaif/shredded wheat pastry)
80 grams unsalted butter, melted

200 milliliters heavy whipping cream (thandi)
5 tablespoons powdered sugar (icing sugar)
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cups sugar for syrup
0.8 cups water for syrup
1 tablespoons rose water
1 teaspoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons pistachios, finely chopped
1 pinch dried rose petals for garnish
2 pinch orange food colour (optional)
Steps:
1. Rose sugar syrup banana: 1 cups sugar for syrup aur 0.8 cups water for syrup ko medium flame par pakao jab tak ek tar ki chashni na ban jaaye. 1 tablespoons rose water, 1 teaspoons lemon juice aur 2 pinch orange food colour (optional) daalkar mix karo. Thanda hone dein.
2. Kunafa dough taiyar karna: 250 grams kunafa dough (kadaif/shredded wheat pastry) ko haath se chote chote pieces mein tod lein. Melted 80 grams unsalted butter, melted achhi tarah milayen jab tak har strand coat na ho jaaye.
3. Kunafa base golden karna: Ek round pan mein kunafa mixture spread karein aur medium flame par golden aur crispy hone tak shallow fry karein, ya 180°C oven mein 20 minutes tak bake karein.
4. Cheesecake filling banana: 400 grams cream cheese, softened ko beat karein jab tak smooth na ho jaaye. 5 tablespoons powdered sugar (icing sugar) aur 1 teaspoons vanilla extract milayen. Alag bowl mein 200 milliliters heavy whipping cream (thandi) ko stiff peaks tak whip karein. Dono ko gently fold karein.
5. Filling plate mein rakhna: Serving plate mein cheesecake filling spread karein. Upar se garam rose syrup drizzle karein.

7. Garnish aur serve karna: 3 tablespoons pistachios, finely chopped aur 1 pinch dried rose petals for garnish se garnish karein. Seedha serve karein, kunafa crispy rahni chahiye.
Notes:
Kunafa dough ko butter mein achhi tarah coat karna zaroori hai, har strand par butter lagni chahiye warna base crispy nahi banega. Cream cheese bilkul room temperature par hona chahiye, thanda hoga toh lumps padenge. Cheesecake filling ke upar kunafa base rakhkar serve karo, yahi reverse layering viral look deti hai. Rose syrup garam garam daalein, cold nahi hona chahiye warna kunafa mein absorb nahi hogi.
