How to make my favorite Ramadan dessert
Here are instructions on how to make my favorite Ramadan dessert, I call it Chocolate Crescents.
1- you need a jar of nutella and a packet of Katayef. I don’t know what Katayef is in English but you can find them at Sultan Center
2- you take an Katayef and you spread chocolate on the back side and then you fold it in half and squeeze the two edges together
3- there is no step three, you are done

you do realize you’re supposed to cook the katayef dont you? like fry or bake or something, otherwise its just a piece of sticky dough…
4. KtheKuwaiti | September 27th, 2006 at 9:59 pm
fry it! or at least bake it.

Well I played around with something similiar to that.
There’s this ready-made dough you get here in the supermarket. Basically, you just put the nutella inside the dough, roll it like a croissant, pop it in the oven, and wait.
It’s really good. I’m sure they have read-made i.e. made for men dough in Sultan Center…hehe :P~~

PPL ! Katayef are pre-cooked. They are basically small pancakes. It is ok not to fry them. It just tastes better if you did. In this case just buy the biquick pancake mix in a bottle. Takes a few seconds to do those pancakes and add nutella while on pan then fold.

A popular dessert/snack in southern Italy is crepes with Nutella – very similar to your concoction. Sometimes we have crepes with nutella for breakfast. Yum.

Mark, I am an admirer of your creativity. infact, I have made a bit of modification to your dessert that I highly suggest you try. Try Using ” KRAFT’s, Cool Whipp, Frozen status” on top of the Nutella Qatayef. OMG!! Awsome!! Remember that the cream must be out of the freezer to capture the distignuish taste.
22. Patrick | September 28th, 2006 at 10:48 pm
mmm Kinder Crepes. There’s a place next to my university in Lebanon that does em’ pretty good.
Also another good snack, Chocolate (Nutella) + Cheese in a crepe. Melted obviously. Tastes REALLY good.
