How to Prepare Kunafa with Strawberries:

1. Prepare the Strawberry Filling:

   • Place 1 cup of strawberries in a blender and blend them thoroughly to make strawberry juice.
   • In a saucepan, mix half of the liquid milk with the white sugar and strawberry juice. Place the pan over medium heat and stir continuously.
   • Dissolve the cornstarch in the remaining milk by stirring it well.
   • Gradually add the cornstarch mixture into the strawberry mixture, stirring constantly until the filling thickens.

2. Prepare the Kunafa Dough:

   • In a large bowl, combine the kunafa dough with powdered sugar, cream, and butter. Rub the ingredients together thoroughly until they are well mixed and the dough becomes uniformly coated.

3. Assembling the Kunafa:

   • Grease a medium-sized cup or mold with a bit of butter. Fill half of the cup with the kunafa dough.
   • Add 1 teaspoon of the strawberry filling on top, then cover it with more kunafa dough until the cup is full.
   • Gently remove the kunafa dough from the cup, keeping its shape, and place it in a greased baking tray.
   • Repeat this process until all the ingredients are used.

4. Baking the Kunafa:

   • Brush the tops of the kunafa pieces with a little butter.
   • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Once heated, place the tray in the oven and bake until the kunafa turns golden.

5. Final Touches:

   • Remove the tray from the oven and pour the cold sugar syrup over the hot kunafa pieces.
   • Garnish the tops with the remaining strawberry slices.

And with that, your kunafa with strawberries is ready to be served to your family or guests. Enjoy its delicious flavor, and bon appétit!
