Instructions

Creating Pistachio Kunafa Brownie can be simple if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Kunafa: In a bowl, combine the thawed kunafa dough with half of the melted butter. Mix until the dough is well coated.
3. Prepare the Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
6. Mix the Batter: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Layer the Brownie Batter: Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Add Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the brownie layer, ensuring even coverage.
9. Add Kunafa Layer: Layer the prepared kunafa dough on top of the cheese, pressing it down lightly.
10. Finish with Brownie Batter: Pour the remaining brownie batter over the kunafa layer and spread it evenly.
11. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
12. Cool and Drizzle: Allow the brownies to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Drizzle the syrup or honey over the top and sprinkle with crushed pistachios.
13. Slice and Serve: Cut into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
