- Press down firmly with the bottom of a teacup.
- Arrange the cheese slices (leaving a little space around the edges). Add another layer of kadayif on top and press down again.
- Bake the künefe in a preheated oven at 210°C for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Pour the cold syrup generously over the hot künefe as soon as it comes out of the oven.
- You can serve it topped with pistachios and clotted cream or ice cream.
