Hampers Inspiration: Praline Pistachio Kunafa

Hampers Inspiration: Praline Pistachio Kunafa

Kunafa (or kanafeh, kunafeh, knafe) is a traditional dessert originating from the Middle Eastern region.
The combination of classic Middle Eastern kunafa with a modern touch of pistachio praline has become one of the rising trends in desserts.

The pairing of chocolate and kunafa is also gaining popularity because it blends kunafa’s buttery–crisp texture with the rich and indulgent taste of chocolate. This fusion creates a modern dessert that still carries a Middle Eastern identity, yet feels more universal and widely appealing.

Its crispy exterior and soft interior combined with the luxurious flavor of pistachio have made it a favorite in many cafés and premium pastry brands.

Why is it trending? One reason is its aesthetic visual appeal—the beautiful pistachio green color often showcased with praline drips or elegant swirls on top.

Additionally, pistachio is associated with premium, high-quality ingredients. When combined with kunafa and saffron syrup, the result is incredibly rich and indulgent.

Kunafa retains its signature “crispy vermicelli” texture, but with a modern twist of creamy and nutty pistachio praline.
