Ingredients
  • Kunafa pastry dough
  • Butter, unsalted- 5 tbsp
  • Pistachios, shelled & unsalted- 2 cups
  • Milk Chocolate
Instructions
For making 1 chocolate bar
  1. I bought the kunafa pastry dough from the Middle Eastern store, it was frozen.
  2. Defrost the frozen pastry, roughly shred the pastry.
  3. For making 1 chocolate bar, 2 cups shredded kunafa pastry will be good enough.
  4. Place a saucepan over medium heat, add 2 tbsp butter, let melt.
  5. Add the shredded kunafa pastry, roast over medium heat till the pastry turns golden in color, it will turn super crispy.
  6. Keep stirring to avoid the pasty from turning brown.
  7. Take the pan off the heat & let cool down.
  8. Add 2 cups shelled pistachios to a blender jar & grind to fine powder.
  9. Add 2 to 3 tbsp melted butter & grind again, pistachio will turn into a smooth paste like butter.
  10. Add the pistachio butter to the roasted kunafa pastry & combine well.
  11. Use good quality chocolate.
  12. I melted the chocolate in the microwave.
  13. Add the chocolate to a microwave safe bowl.
  14. Heat for 2 to 3 minutes till the chocolate has melted, take the bowl every 30 seconds mix well & again microwave.
  15. I've used a chocolate mold for making the bar.
  16. Pour some melted chocolate as the first layer on the mold & keep the mold in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  17. After 10 minutes, take the mold out of the refrigerator.
  18. Spread the kunafa mixed with pistachio butter over the chocolate layer.
  19. Pour the melted chocolate generously over the kunafa-pistachio butter.
  20. Keep the mold in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has set well.
  21. Enjoy the crunchy filling along with the rich chocolate, absolutely delicious.
