Ingredients
  

Brownie Base
  • 1 box Chocolate Brownie Mix Provides structure and chocolate flavor; swap in your favorite mix for variety.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Adds moisture and richness; melted coconut oil works as a dairy-free alternative.
Topping
  • 2 tablespoons Kataifi Delivers a flaky, crispy texture; phyllo dough can be a substitute.
  • 1/4 cup Tahini Infuses a creamy, nutty flavor; almond butter can add a different profile.
  • 1/4 cup Pistachio Cream Essential for Middle Eastern flair; consider pistachio butter as a swap.
Ganache
  • 3/4 cup Milk Chocolate Chips Enhances sweetness; dark chocolate offers a richer flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream Creates creamy ganache richness.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking dish (9x9-inch)

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine chocolate brownie mix with melted unsalted butter in a bowl, stir until smooth. Pour into greased baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, cool in the pan.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet, add chopped kataifi and cook for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let cool.
  3. Layer crispy kataifi on cooled brownie base, pressing down slightly to adhere.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream until simmering. Stir in milk chocolate chips and pistachio cream until smooth.
  5. Pour ganache over kataifi layer and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
  6. Slice into squares and serve chilled or at room temperature.
