#CA26 - These rich, creamy and yummy Custard Kunafa Cups are just irresistible. Very easy and quick to dish out, they are a perfect Eid, Diwali or a party dessert that people will fall in love with. It is a twist to the traditional Middle Eastern dessert, prepared with custard of any flavor, vermicelli and crushed pistachios. These three main ingredients forms the basis of this amazing dessert. As Kunafa dough was unavailable, I went in for roasted vermicelli. I also added some soaked chia seeds to the prepared custard.
