Bake in a preheated oven @160°C for 7-8 minutes or until the knife comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.

For Homemade Pistachio Paste:Ready all the pistachio paste ingredients. Slightly melt white chocolate on a double boiler.(else the mixer blade may break) Coarsely powder the pistachio in mixer. Add in condensed milk.

Add in slightly warmed and slightly melted white chocolate and milk as required and crush to a smooth paste.(Green food colour can be add. I haven't.)

For Kunafa: In a kadhaai take ghee and roast the sevaiiya on slow gas. Keep stirring until a pleasant roasted aroma releases. Cool it. Add in the Homemade pistachio paste.Mix well.

Lip smacking Kunafa is ready. Spread a 2 cm layer on the cooled chocolate cake.

Melt dark chocolate and strained malai and prepare the chocolate ganache. Cool and pour on the Kunafa layer.
