4. While kunafa crisps, whisk together almond milk, coconut milk, Greek yogurt, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and cardamom in a small bowl until smooth.

5. Pour half the milk mixture evenly over the warm kunafa base, allowing it to absorb for 2-3 minutes.

6. Top with remaining kunafa noodles, gently pressing down, then pour remaining milk mixture over the top layer.

7. Return to oven for 8-10 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the liquid is mostly absorbed.

8. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Divide between two plates or bowls.

9. Garnish each serving with pistachios, pomegranate seeds, and a light dusting of cinnamon before serving warm or at room temperature.
