Pistachio kunafa Brownies || Dubai Kunafa Brownies || Viral Chocolate Bar Inspired Recipe - RKC

Sift together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/3 cup cocoa powder, and 1/4 teaspoon baking powder into a large bowl.

In another bowl, combine 2 eggs, 1/2 cup oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla essence and whisk until combined.

Add 1 cup of sugar and a pinch of salt to the wet ingredients and mix well.

Combine the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients and mix until well combined.

Fold in 1/2 cup of milk chocolate using a spatula.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Line a baking pan with parchment paper and grease it with non-stick cooking spray or oil.

Pour the brownie batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, tapping the pan a few times before baking.

For the pistachio kunafa spread, shred half a packet of filo using a food processor or knife.

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat and add the chopped filo, toasting it for about 10 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

Turn off the heat and allow the toasted filo to cool for 15 minutes.

Add pistachio butter and tahini to the cooled filo and mix until well combined.

Once the brownies are cooled, press the pistachio kunafa mixture over the brownies.

For the chocolate ganache, heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles appear at the edge.

Turn off the heat and add chocolate chips, letting them sit for 3 minutes to melt.

Stir until well combined and let it cool slightly.

Pour the ganache over the pistachio kunafa layer.

Decorate with white chocolate or pistachio butter in a pattern and garnish with chopped pistachios.

Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the ganache is hardened.
