Custard Kunafa Cups

Prepare the Kunafa Cups:

Shred kunafa dough using scissors (if using vermicelli, crush lightly). Mix with melted butter and sugar until evenly coated. Press into cupcake moulds or small tart cups to form a nest shape. Bake at 180°C for 10–12 minutes or until golden and crispy. (Or toast in a pan until crisp).

Make the Custard:

In a saucepan, mix custard powder and sugar with a little cold milk. Add remaining milk and cook on medium flame, stirring continuously until thick. Add cream or milkmaid and mix well. Cool slightly before filling.

Assemble:

Once cups are cool, spoon custard filling into each kunafa cup. Garnish with pistachios and rose petals. Chill for 30 minutes before serving for best texture.
