Instructions

1

Toast the Kunafa

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add shredded kunafa pastry and toast for 8 to 10 minutes stirring constantly until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

2

Make the Filling

In a bowl combine the toasted kunafa with pistachio cream tahini and rose water. Mix until everything is well combined and the filling holds together. Set aside.

3

Temper and Mold the Chocolate

Melt dark chocolate chips using a double boiler until smooth. Pour half the melted chocolate into silicone bar molds coating all sides. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to set the shell.
