Ingredients

For the Filling:

• 1 cup finely ground kunafa (kataifi pastry)
• 5 tbsp pistachio butter
• 1 tbsp regular butter

For the Pastry:

• 6 sheets phyllo dough (filo), cut lengthwise into strips
• 3 tbsp melted butter

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 6 pieces dark chocolate
• Crushed mixed nuts (pistachios, almonds, etc.) – as needed

Instructions

1. In a pan, toast the ground kunafa with 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the pistachio butter. Let the mixture cool completely.
2. Cut the phyllo sheets lengthwise into strips. Brush each strip lightly with melted butter.
3. Place a small amount of the pistachio-kunafa filling at one end of the phyllo strip and fold it into a triangle shape (like folding a samosa). Repeat with the remaining strips.

4. Place the triangles on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown from both sides.
5. Remove from the oven and let the triangles cool completely.
6. Melt the dark chocolate. Dip the top of each cooled triangle into the melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with crushed mixed nuts.

7. Place the coated triangles on parchment paper and put them in the freezer for 15 minutes to set the chocolate. Then remove and serve.

Tips for Success

• Work quickly with phyllo dough and keep the unused sheets covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
• Don’t overfill the triangles to avoid leakage during baking.
• Use good quality dark chocolate for the best taste and beautiful shine.
• Store the finished triangles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
