Ingredients
For the Kunafa:
500g kunafa (knafeh) pastry – Shredded phyllo dough or kunafa dough, available at Middle Eastern stores.
1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) – To butter the kunafa dough for that golden, crispy texture.
1/2 cup vegetable oil – Helps to crisp the kunafa.
For the Peanut Butter Chocolate Filling:
1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy) – The base of the filling, adding richness and flavor.
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips – Adds a rich, chocolatey flavor.
1/4 cup heavy cream – To make the chocolate smooth and creamy.
2 tablespoons powdered sugar – To sweeten the filling.
For the Syrup:
1 cup granulated sugar – To make a simple syrup for soaking the kunafa.
1/2 cup water – To dissolve the sugar and create the syrup.
1 tablespoon lemon juice – To prevent crystallization and add a subtle tang.
