4. Add the Peanut Butter Chocolate Filling:
Evenly spread the peanut butter chocolate mixture over the first layer of kunafa dough, smoothing it out with a spatula.
5. Top with Remaining Kunafa Dough:
Place the remaining kunafa dough on top of the peanut butter chocolate filling, pressing down gently to compact it.
Drizzle the remaining butter and oil mixture over the top layer of dough.
6. Bake the Kunafa:
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Keep an eye on the kunafa as baking time can vary depending on the thickness of the dough.
7. Soak with Syrup:
Once the kunafa is baked, remove it from the oven and immediately pour the cooled syrup over the hot dessert. Allow the syrup to soak into the kunafa for about 10-15 minutes, making it sweet and syrupy.
8. Serve:
Let the kunafa cool slightly before slicing it into squares or diamonds.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with crushed peanuts or a sprinkle of chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.
Serving Suggestions
