# Detailed Directions:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F) to prepare for baking.
02 - Gently melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully liquefied.
03 - Remove the melted butter from heat and whisk in the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and homogenous.
04 - In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt to ensure even distribution.
05 - Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until just combined without overmixing.
06 - Grease the baking dish and evenly layer half of the shredded kunafa pastry on the bottom.
07 - Spread the prepared brownie batter evenly over the kunafa base layer.
08 - Distribute the chopped pistachios uniformly atop the brownie batter layer.
09 - Place the remaining shredded kunafa pastry evenly over the pistachios, forming the final layer.
10 - Lightly drizzle the sweetened condensed milk across the top layer for added sweetness.
11 - Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
12 - Allow the confection to cool completely before slicing into portions and serving.

# Helpful Advice:

01 - Use dark chocolate cocoa powder for a richer chocolate profile.
02 - Ensure the kunafa pastry is finely shredded to achieve even layering.
03 - Monitor baking time closely; brownies should retain moisture without being undercooked.
