Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes. Pour into a silicone mold, smooth the surface, cover and freeze for at least 3 hours or until firm.
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat, chop kataifi, and toast with unsalted butter until golden, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool, then mix with melted white chocolate and pistachio cream.
- Heat heavy cream for chocolate ganache until bubbling, remove from heat and add chopped milk chocolate. Stir until smooth and let cool.
- Prepare pistachio ganache by heating heavy cream, removing from heat, and stirring in white chocolate and pistachio cream until smooth.
- Press half of the pistachio kunafa mixture into the bottom of the mold, spoon cheese filling on top, add remaining kunafa, press gently, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Remove dessert from mold, drizzle chocolate and pistachio ganaches decoratively, and adorn with biscuits and pearl sugar.

Notes
Ensure cheese filling is at room temperature for a smoother texture and press firmly when layering for structure. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes after assembly for best results.
