  • 2 Pc. Mozzarella
  • 150 g Butter
  • 1 cups Sugar
  • 1 cups Water

For applesauce:

  • 500 ml Milk

  • 3 tbsp Rice

  • 5 tbsp Food starch
  • 5 tbsp Sugar
  • 0,5 Pc. Vanilla pod

Instructions
 

Künefe:

  • Chop the kadayif with butter (preferably with a food processor) Add a tablespoon of the kadayif to a heat-resistant dish and smooth it over, spread a little mozzarella and add the kadayif on top again so that you can no longer see any cheese. Bake these molds for 30 minutes at 170 degrees.
  • In the meantime, prepare the sugar syrup. Simply put sugar and water in a saucepan and cook for 15 minutes. At the very end, add a few drops of lemon. Take the künefes out of the oven and add about 4 tablespoons of the sugar syrup, depending on the size. Plan künefe so that the guests can eat them warm.

Applesauce:

  • Peel the apples and cut into small pieces. Put the apples in a saucepan and add all the ingredients. Let this simmer for about 60 minutes over low heat.

Rice pudding:

  • First time, the rice needs to be cooked separately. Simply put rice and water in a saucepan, bring to the boil and then let rest over low heat. In the meantime, bring the milk to the boil, add sugar and vanilla. Also add the rice and stir continuously. Add cornstarch and simmer for about 5 minutes (please always stir).
  • Remove the rice pudding from the hotplate and stir until it gets cold. Whip the cream until stiff and add to the rice pudding. Finally, pour the rice pudding into a serving glass and pour the applesauce on top.
