Almonds are more accessible and still provide crunch.

Melt 250 grams of unsalted butter in a bowl.

Add icing sugar to the melted butter and mix well with the kunafa until fully combined.

In a separate pot, combine milk, corn flour, and plain flour; heat until thickened to create the cream.

Prepare the syrup by mixing sugar, water, and lemon juice in a pot and heating until ready.

Grease a circular oven tray with butter.

Layer the kunafa in the greased tray, pressing down as you go to shape it properly.

Add a layer of the cream mixture on top of the kunafa layer.

Sprinkle pistachios and coconut over the cream layer.

Add another layer of kunafa on top of the cream and toppings.

Bake in the oven until golden brown (exact time not specified in the video).

While the kunafa is hot, pour the hot syrup over it immediately after removing from the oven.
