🔪 Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Kunafa Filling
Heat a pan and add butter. Once melted, add chopped kunafa and roast on medium flame until it turns golden brown and crispy. This step is key to getting that signature crunch.
Turn off the heat and let it cool slightly. Then mix in pistachio paste and condensed milk. Stir well until everything is combined into a rich, sticky filling.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave or double boiler, melt the dark chocolate along with coconut oil or butter. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Step 3: Create the Base Layer
Take a silicone mold or small tray. Pour a layer of melted chocolate at the bottom and spread evenly.
Place it in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until slightly set.
Step 4: Add the Filling
Now spread the prepared kunafa-pistachio filling over the chocolate layer. Press gently to make an even layer.
Step 5: Top with Chocolate
Pour the remaining melted chocolate on top, covering the filling completely. Smooth the surface using a spatula.
Step 6: Garnish and Chill
Sprinkle chopped pistachios and decorate with edible gold leaf for that premium Dubai-style finish.
Refrigerate for 30–40 minutes until fully set.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Once set, remove from the mold and cut into bars or squares. Your viral Dubai Chocolate is ready to serve! 🍫✨
