Healthy Kunafa in Ramadan: Enjoy the Flavor Without Extra Calories
Kunafa is a popular Ramadan dessert, and it can be prepared in a healthy way to reduce calories while keeping the delicious taste
Kunafa is a favorite dessert during Ramadan, but traditional recipes are high in calories, which may lead to weight gain if consumed excessively. A healthier version preserves the delicious taste while being calorie-friendly.
How to make healthy Kunafa:
Step 1: Prepare the Kunafa
-
Freeze the Kunafa until solid, then chop it finely in a blender.
-
Add one tablespoon of butter for every quarter kilo of Kunafa and mix well.
-
Lightly toast the Kunafa over medium heat until golden.
Step 2: Prepare the Mango
-
Cut mangoes into small cubes and set aside.
Step 3: Make the Healthy Cream
-
Soak a bag of chickpeas overnight, then boil until cooked.
-
Keep the cooking water, let it cool, then add 1 tsp vanilla and 3 tbsp stevia.
-
Whip with an electric mixer for 10 minutes until it reaches a creamy texture without added calories.
Step 4: Assemble the Kunafa
-
Place a layer of toasted Kunafa, followed by mango pieces and healthy cream.
-
Repeat the layers, finishing with a Kunafa layer on top.
This method delivers a taste very close to traditional Kunafa but with far fewer calories, perfect for those maintaining a healthy diet during Ramadan.
