Ingredients
– 1 package of frozen croissant dough (8-10 croissants)
– 1 cup of shredded kunafa dough
– 1 cup of ricotta cheese
– 1/2 cup of sugar
– 1/2 cup of milk

Instructions
Creating Kunafa-Stuffed Croissant Cups is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly with butter or cooking spray.
2. Prepare Croissant Dough: Roll out the croissant dough on a clean surface. Cut each croissant triangle into a smaller piece if necessary to fit into the muffin tin.
3. Form Cups: Place each piece of croissant dough into the muffin tin, pressing it gently to form a cup shape. Ensure there are no gaps, as this will hold the filling.
4. Mix Kunafa Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine shredded kunafa dough, ricotta cheese, sugar, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Mix until well combined.
5. Fill Croissant Cups: Spoon the kunafa mixture evenly into each croissant cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
6. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the croissant cups are golden brown and crispy.
7. Cool: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cups cool for about 10-15 minutes.
8. Add Toppings: Drizzle honey or syrup over the cooled cups and sprinkle with crushed pistachios for an added touch of flavor and crunch.
9. Serve: Gently remove the croissant cups from the muffin tin and place them on a serving platter.
These steps will guide you in creating these incredible dessert cups effortlessly.
