Name: Pistachio Kunafa Chocolate Cake and Cupcakes
Prep time: 45 min
Cook time: 128 min
Total time: 126 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Saudi Arabian
Ingredients: 6 tbsp White Chocolate; 1 cup Unsalted Pistachio; 3 tbsp Condensed Milk; 5 tbsp Milk; 25 Oreo Cream Biscuits; 1/2 cup Milk; 1/2 tsp Baking Powder; 1/2 tsp Vinegar; 1 pinch Salt; 150 g Sevaiiya; 1 tbsp Ghee; 120 ml Dark Chocolate; 4 tbsp Malai

This dessert layers a soft chocolate cake base with a crunchy, nutty kunafa filling, all topped with a rich chocolate ganache. The kunafa layer, made from roasted sevaiiya and a homemade pistachio paste, offers a textural contrast to the cake. It needs a few hours in the fridge to set properly, making it a good make-ahead option.
