Kunafa has become a worldwide sensation, loved for its crispy layers, sweet cheese filling, and syrup-soaked goodness. From home bakers to the foodservice sector, its versatility has inspired countless creative twists. Rooted in Arab culture and hospitality, sweets like Kunafa have a rich history dating back centuries. These beloved treats reflect the region’s diverse culinary heritage, shaped by unique ingredients, cultural traditions, and foreign influences that continue to captivate taste buds around the world1.

The Kunafa trend took off on TikTok, starting with the viral Dubai Chocolate Kunafa Bars. This online sensation sparked a wave of creativity, inspiring food professionals to experiment with Kunafa as a filling for cookies, cromboloni, croissants, and other innovative treats with a variety of flavours. The trend continues to thrive, driven by consumer demand for unique flavour combinations, contrasting textures, and the fusion of global cuisines.

Today’s consumers are more adventurous than ever, seeking new and exciting taste experiences that blend tradition with modern twists2. According to recent research, 66% of consumers are willing to try unfamiliar flavours, while 74% actively seek exotic and adventurous taste experiences3.
Inspired by the global love for unique taste experiences, we have transformed the classic Kunafa into a modern delight with our Kunafa Berries Cheese Tarts. Combining the crispiness of Kunafa with a rich cream cheese layer, these tarts come in three irresistible flavours: Blueberry, Strawberry, and Raspberry. Each bite offers a creamy, flavourful texture while preserving the fresh, tangy essence of the berries.
The Benefits of Foodcraft® Frozen Berries and Debic Cream Cheese:
Year-Round Availability
Enjoy consistent access to high-quality berries without worrying about seasonal shortages or price fluctuations—perfect for maintaining a stable menu all year long.
Extended Shelf Life
With a longer shelf life than fresh berries, Foodcraft® Frozen Berries help minimise spoilage and waste, offering cost savings and better inventory management for foodservice businesses.
