Shredded Kataifi (Knafeh) Pastry: 150g for a crunchy texture.
Unsalted Butter: Approximately 50g for golden, crispy pastry.
Sugar Syrup: Blend 100ml water with 50g sugar for optional glaze.
Salt: Just a pinch to balance sweetness.
Optional Edible Gold Leaf: For a luxurious touch.

Instructions
1. Begin by preparing the kunafa pastry. Defrost and shred it into a mixing bowl. Mix the pastry with melted unsalted butter to ensure it’s evenly coated.
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the coated kunafa pastry thinly on a baking tray and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Let it cool.
3. Melt the premium milk chocolate in a saucepan over low heat, stirring continually to avoid scorching. Once melted, mix in pistachio cream until smooth.
4. Allow the baked kunafa pastry to cool, then cut it into bar-sized shapes for a sturdy dessert base.
5. Pour the chocolate and pistachio mixture over the prepared kunafa pastry bars. Flatten and smooth it out with a spatula.
6. Leave the bars in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to set and firm for easier handling.
7. (Optional) Add decorative touches such as a drizzle of melted chocolate, a sprinkle of pistachios, edible gold leaf, or a light sugar syrup glaze for a luxurious finish.
8. Let the bars set for a few minutes more before serving. Enjoy your Dubai Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate Bar with family and friends!
