Pistachio Kunafa Date Squares

Ingredients

  • 15 Medjool dates (or as needed depending on size)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 90g kadayif pastry (available in Asian / Turkish grocery stores)
  • 125g pistachio cream (Click here to buy!)
  • 200g milk chocolate
  • Chopped nuts to garnish

Method

  1. Recite Bismillah.
  2. Line a 8” square tin with grease proof paper. Leave the edges coming over the side on two opposite ends so you can lift the date bark out easily.
  3. Remove the seeds from the dates. Flatten them out with your hands and place them in your tray. Create one flat layer by pressing them into each other.
  4. Heat butter in a pan. Add chopped kadayif. Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously until lightly golden and crunchy . Turn off heat.
  5. Then add pistachio cream whilst it’s still hot and combine.
  6. Add the pistachio kadayif filling to the dates layer. Smoothen it out using the back of a spoon. Refrigerate for 30 mins.
  7. Melt chocolate. Pour over the pistachio kadayif layer. Garnish with chopped nuts. Refrigerate for an hour.
  8. Cut into squares.
  9. Remember us in your du’aas and enjoy!
