Golden crispy kunafa cups filled with smooth melted milk chocolate and topped with crushed pistachios, a perfect blend of crunch and creamy indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 grams kunafa pastry, finely shredded
  • 100 grams unsalted butter, melted
  • 200 grams milk chocolate, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons crushed pistachios (about 20 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C and lightly grease a muffin tin.
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the kunafa pastry with melted butter until evenly coated.
  3. Divide the buttered pastry into the muffin tin cavities and gently press along the base and sides to form cup shapes without packing too tightly.
  4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Remove from the oven and allow the cups to cool completely in the tin.
  6. Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in short 20 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  7. Spoon the melted chocolate into each cooled kunafa cup.
  8. Sprinkle crushed pistachios over the chocolate before it fully sets.
  9. Lightly dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Separate the kunafa strands before mixing to ensure even crisping.
  • Allow the cups to cool fully before filling to maintain crunch.
  • Store unfilled cups in an airtight container for best texture.
