Description

Indulge in the rich and delightful fusion of chocolate brownies, pistachios, and kunafa for a unique dessert experience.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/3 cup Cocoa Powder
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Pistachios, chopped
  • 2 cups Kunafa Noodles
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Melt the unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl. Whisk in the granulated sugar until well combined, then add the eggs one at a time, mixing vigorously. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Sift together the all-purpose flour and cocoa powder, gradually mixing them into the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped pistachios, reserving some for topping.
  5. Loosen the kunafa noodles by tearing them into smaller pieces. Melt butter and mix it with the kunafa to coat thoroughly.
  6. Prepare a greased baking dish. Layer half the kunafa mixture, then half the brownie batter, followed by the remaining kunafa, and finally the rest of the brownie batter.
  7. Sprinkle with remaining pistachios and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting into squares.
