Fudge brownies layered with a crunchy and creamy pistachio kunafa layer, topped with a chocolate frosting and finished with chopped pistachios and sesame seeds. This dessert recipe is inspired by the viral dubai chocolate bar and the flavors and textures are delicious!
This trend has been done and redone for a while now. A lot of people will be saying its over done and should be put to rest. I am here to say before we do that, let us squeeze one more variation into the mix as these brownies are going to blow your mind. They are so freaking delicious. No to mention, they are simple and very very easy to make. Just in time to celebrate Eid? Or just in time to celebrate the weekend or you know what – no celebration needed – jus make these and enjoy them yourself.
Now, if you don’t know, these pistachio chocolate bars have been trending all over tiktok. Living in Dubai and I found out about them on Tiktok. These bars don’t mess around, they sell out fast and you need to be quick to get your order in. They are a luxury chocolate to indulge in and not your average candy bar. These guys truly know their chocolate and their flavors. With some very. Interesting combinations but the taste is not the only inviting aspect of these chocolate bars, they look like works of art. If you haven’t seen them I have linked their instagram account here for reference, so get inspired.
FIX dessert is a dessert bar that sells delicious sweet treats based in Dubai. They have a variety of chocolate bars that are not your everyday candy bars they are packed with a variety of flavors and textures to create the most delicious dessert bar.
A creator on tiktok posted these chocolate bars which went viral and very soon people who travelled to Dubai and those to lived here wanted to get their hands on these dessert bars. They are simply yummy with the right amount of chocolate to filling ratio. Also they are huge in size, in comparison to the regular candy bars.
As of now they don’t sell outside Dubai. Many people suggested you can find them at the airport but you cannot. The only way to get your hands on these bars is by purchasing them through the delivery app.
These dessert bars are chocolate bars filled with a variety of flavors but the most popular one is the pistachio kunafa filling which is crunchy and very. Yummy.
To make the brownies we need butter, dark chocolate, vanilla, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, salt. For the kunafa layer we need pistachio butter or paste, kunafa pastry, tahini paste, salt and butter. For the chocolate frosting we need dark chocolate and heavy cream and honey.
To make the brownies we need a mixing bowl and whisk. I like to use my electric beater to whisk the eggs faster but you can use a whisk. Also, the chocolate and butter can be melted in the microwave as well. I have baked it in an 8×8 inch tin. To make the kunafa pastry we need a sauté pan, spatula and mixing bowl. For the frosting we make it in the microwave in a bowl.
Cut them into 9 large squares or 36 smaller bite sized squares. They are delicious with milk or coffee but I also like serving them with some ice cream. I would also suggest serving them with a little drizzle of pistachio paste on top.
They are best stored in air tight containers in the fridge for up to 1 week. I have stored these in the freezer as well for up to 1 month and they are so good, allow them to thaw before eating. Do not warm them up as the the texture will change.
Now that we have covered how to make this pistachio kunafa brownie recipe, you can have a look at the recipe video on my socials but let’s get to it. Don’t forget to follow along for more fun recipe inspiration.
