ABOUT Low fat kunfah RECIPE

Once again I am here with a low fat but delicious, mouthwatering dessert , my kids favourite very popular in Middle East. This is perfect dessert to serve as Eid treats. Though I can't say it is a completely healthy recipe but of course I tried to cut nearly half the calories than traditional one. As this recipe calls for too much butter and sugar, so clearly it's a rich dessert. But I used minimal butter and less sugar to avoid extra calories, without compromising its taste. This is one of the best dessert I had ever. I made it my way with some twists in ingredients, but the end product is total worth to my effort. It's not only tempting but also a treat to eyes too.
