Ingredients

• ✓ lemon juice
• water
• sugar
• ricotta cheese
• cornstarch
• all-purpose flour
• active dry yeast
• water
• oil

Instructions

1. 1 Make a syrup by stirring the water, sugar, and lemon juice together in a saucepan over medium heat until thick; set aside to cool.
2. 2 Make a filling by combining the ricotta cheese and cornstarch in a small bowl; set aside.
3. 3 Make the dough by mixing together the flour and the yeast. Stir the water into the flour mixture 1 cup at a time, whisking to remove any lumps, until the mixture reaches a pourable consistency; allow to rest 1 hour.
4. 4 Heat a skillet over medium heat. Ladle 2 to 3 ounces of batter at a time into the center of the skillet into a round shape. Each katayef shell is finished when the top is dry and the bottom is slightly browned.
5. 5 Fill each shell with an equal portion of the cheese mixture. Fold one end of the shell over the cheese mixture and seal into a semi-circle shape by pinching along the edges.
6. 6 Heat the frying oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Fry the katayef in the oil until crispy and lightly browned; immerse in the syrup to coat; serve immediately.

Ingredients

• ✓ lemon juice
• phyllo dough
• ricotta cheese
• mozzarella cheese
• white sugar
• butter
• sugar
• water
• rose water

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. 2 Prepare kanafa: Finely chop frozen, shredded phyllo dough using a food processor until the strands are about the size of a grain of rice. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
3. 3 Mix together ricotta, mozzarella, and sugar in a separate bowl.
4. 4 Place butter in a large, microwave-safe liquid measuring cup or bowl with a spout. Heat in a microwave until completely melted, and let it sit for several minutes until a thick white foam has formed on top. Clarify butter by using a spoon to skim off the foam.
5. 5 Carefully pour butter into the bowl of phyllo dough. Avoid pouring in the white milk solids at the bottom of the clarified butter. Use your hands to mix butter and dough together. Make sure butter is absorbed by taking handfuls of the dough and rubbing it between your palms.
6. 6 Evenly spread buttered phyllo dough into a 9x13-inch pan and firmly press it into the bottom and edges. Spread cheese mixture onto the dough, avoiding the edges of the pan.
7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is slightly golden and the edges of dough are brown and bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes.
8. 8 While the kanafa is baking, prepare the syrup: Combine 1 cup sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in lemon juice. Simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Be careful not to let the mixture turn golden and caramelize. Remove from heat and add rose water; set aside.
9. 9 Remove kanafa from the oven. Place a large platter or baking sheet over the baking dish. Using oven mitts, carefully invert the baking dish onto the platter so phyllo is on top. Pour syrup over kanafa. Cut into pieces and serve while hot.

Ingredients

• ✓ lemon juice
• milk
• semolina
• egg
• rose water
• white sugar
• water
• whipping cream
• sugar
• pistachio nut

Instructions

1. 1 Make pudding: Pour milk into a large saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and slowly pour in semolina in a steady stream, stirring continuously. Continue to stir and cook until mixture thickens and boils for 1 to 2 minutes.
2. 2 Remove the pan from heat and stir in eggs and rose water until well combined. Pour mixture into a 9x13-inch serving dish or individual dishes. Allow pudding to cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap directly on the top. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 5 hours to overnight.
3. 3 Make syrup: Heat 1/2 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir to dissolve sugar, then cook until mixture turns golden brown. Immediately remove from heat and stir in remaining water. Don't worry if the mixture bubbles and hardens a bit, it will dissolve. Return the pan to the stove and stir in remaining 3 1/2 cups sugar until dissolved. Add lemon juice and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and chill. The syrup will keep for a month if refrigerated in a sealed container.
4. 4 Make topping: Beat together cream and sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Spread a thin layer of whipped cream over pudding. Sprinkle with nuts.
5. 5 Cut pudding into squares. Serve with syrup poured around it.

2. 2 Toss walnuts and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.
3. 3 Unroll phyllo dough and trim to just slightly larger than the pan so dough will run up the sides. Place 2 sheets of dough in the prepared pan and butter thoroughly. Repeat for a total of 8 sheets layered. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of cinnamon-walnut mixture on top. Top with 2 more sheets of dough, butter, cinnamon-walnut mixture; repeat and end with 3 sheets of dough. Butter the top of the baklava.

5. 5 Meanwhile, combine cream cheese, sugar, and flour in the bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on high power until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl. Beat on low speed and add eggs 1 at a time, beating about 15 seconds after each. Scrape bowl. Add lemon juice and beat on high speed until well blended, about 1 minute. Pour mixture over baked baklava crust in the pan while crust is still hot.

Ingredients

• ✓ lemon juice
• cooking spray
• gelatin
• white sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Line bottom and sides of a large baking pan with aluminum foil; coat generously with cooking spray. Coat both sides of a spatula with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. 2 Pour ¾ cup lemon juice into a large bowl; sprinkle gelatin evenly on top. Do not stir. Set aside until gelatin forms, about 15 minutes.
3. 3 Meanwhile, combine 3 cups sugar and remaining ¾ cup lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat; attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and stir until sugar has dissolved, 3 to 5 minutes. Increase heat until mixture reaches a low boil; boil until thermometer reads 240 degrees F (115 degrees C), 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. (The liquid will bubble a lot; you may need to remove the saucepan from the heat to let the bubbles settle, so you can see if the sugar has melted.)
4. 4 Slowly pour sugar mixture into gelatin, while beating with an electric mixer on low. Gradually increase speed to medium-high; beat until batter ribbons that drip from beaters take 2 seconds to sink back into the bowl, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour marshmallow batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with the prepared spatula to flatten. Set marshmallow aside, uncovered, until completely set, 3 hours to overnight.
5. 5 Cover a flat surface larger than marshmallow slab with remaining 1 ½ cups sugar; sprinkle some sugar on top of marshmallow and spread around. Carefully loosen marshmallow from the pan; invert onto sugar-covered surface.
6. 6 Cut marshmallows into desired shapes; dust all sides with sugar as you work.
