What does 'pistachio and kunafa' taste like in this protein cookie? — Cookie "Pistachio and Kunafa", Dubai series SNAQ FABRIQ SNAQER, 45 g - Bombbar

The flavor profile is directly inspired by Middle Eastern desserts. The primary notes come from the pistachio cream, which provides a rich, nutty sweetness. This is layered with the taste of kunafa dough, a shredded pastry often found in desserts like knafeh, adding a subtle, bakery-like or pastry note. Tahini paste, made from sesame seeds, brings a depth and a slightly roasted, savory nuance that complements the pistachio and helps balance the overall sweetness.

This combination aims to create a taste that feels more like an indulgent dessert or a gourmet cookie, distinct from the often chocolate- or peanut butter-focused flavor profiles of standard protein bars. The use of sugar substitutes instead of added sugar allows for this rich taste while keeping the sugar content lower. If you enjoy nutty, pastry-inspired sweets with a hint of savory depth, this profile will likely appeal to you.
