Steps

1

First, melt the butter and stir in 1 teaspoon of food coloring.
2

Crumble the kunafa pastry with your fingertips, then add the melted butter, powdered sugar, cardamom, and rose water. Mix well.
3

Grease a baking pan and press half of the kunafa mixture into the bottom, pressing with your fingertips to set it in place.
4

In a saucepan over low heat, mix the milk, sugar, and cornstarch until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in the cream and cream cheese.
5

Pour the filling over the kunafa layer, making sure to keep the filling in the center and away from the edges.
6

Add the remaining kunafa on top to cover the filling, and gently press it down.
7

Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, top and bottom, until golden. Remove from the oven, pour the simple syrup over the top, and garnish with pistachios. Enjoy!
