Description

Decadent Pistachio Kunafa Brownies are a unique fusion dessert combining a fudgy brownie base with crispy kunafa layers, crushed pistachios, and a sweet syrup drizzle. This recipe offers a delightful textural and flavor experience, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces kunafa (shredded phyllo dough)
  • ½ cup unsalted pistachios, crushed
  • 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • Syrup (for drizzling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  2. Mix shredded kunafa with half of the melted butter. Spread evenly in the baking dish and press firmly.
  3. Bake the kunafa layer for about 15 minutes until golden. Remove and let cool slightly.
  4. Combine remaining melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix well. Add eggs and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth.
  5. In another bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold crushed pistachios into the brownie batter.
  8. Pour brownie batter over the baked kunafa layer, spreading evenly.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Prepare syrup by heating equal parts sugar and water until dissolved. Add lemon juice if desired.
  11. Cool brownies for 30 minutes. Drizzle with sweetened condensed milk and syrup. Sprinkle with additional pistachios.
  12. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh pistachios for the best flavor.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before slicing for clean cuts.
  • Customize toppings with shredded coconut or dried fruit.
  • Serve with sweet yogurt dip or Nutella for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
  • Store without syrup on top to maintain crispness.
  • Freeze wrapped tightly for up to three months; thaw at room temperature.
