1-First Steps: Making the Brownie Base: Start by creaming the butter with brown sugar until it’s smooth and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract next, then gently fold in the sifted cocoa powder, baking powder, flour, and salt to create a thick batter.

2-Baking and Adding Layers: Bake the batter at 180ºC (350ºF) for 20-25 minutes until it’s set but still moist. While it cools, shred and roast the kunafa dough in butter or ghee until it’s golden and crispy. Combine this with the pistachio spread and layer it over the cooled brownie base, then pour on melted chocolate, garnish with slivered pistachios, and refrigerate briefly before serving.
