Inspired by the viral Kanafeh Chocolate Bar from Dubai, this homemade version is loaded with pistachio butter and crunchy phyllo for a creamy, crispy treat.
Ingredients
- 2-4 tbsp ghee
- 1/3 pack shredded phyllo dough (ktaifeh/knafeh
- 7-10 tbsp pistachio spread/cream
- 2 tsp tahini
- 1 semi-sweet chocolate bar
- 1 milk chocolate bar

Instructions
- Chop the shredded phyllo dough into small pieces. Toast it in a pan with ghee over medium heat until golden brown.
- In a bowl, combine the toasted phyllo with pistachio spread and tahini, mixing well.
- Finely chop the semi-sweet and milk chocolate bars.
- Melt the chocolate using your preferred method (double boiler or microwave).
- If you want the chocolate to have a nice snap, make sure to temper it properly.
- Use white chocolate colored with yellow food coloring to create designs on the chocolate bar (optional), then pour the melted chocolate into a mold, ensuring it covers all sides and corners. Shake off any excess chocolate.
- Place the mold in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate layer.
- Add the pistachio filling to the mold, then cover with another layer of melted chocolate.
- Let the entire chocolate bar solidify in the freezer for at least 1 hour. Once fully set, remove the chocolate bar from the mold.
