Kunafa chocolate, made to melt.

Roasted pistachio Crisp kunafa threads Small-batch fresh
Origin

The Baker started in 2024 in Malappuram with one obsession: marry the crackle of Middle-Eastern kunafa with smooth, well-tempered chocolate and a generous heart of roasted pistachio.

We make in small, fresh batches so every bite snaps clean and the kunafa stays crisp. No tired stock, no shortcuts on the good stuff — just bites worth coming back for.

“Good chocolate should make a room go quiet.”
How we make it

From kunafa & pistachio
to a finished bite.

  1. 01 / Toast

    The kunafa.

    Fine kunafa (kataifi) pastry threads are toasted in batches until deep gold and shatter-crisp.

  2. 02 / Pistachio

    The filling.

    Roasted pistachios are ground to a smooth paste and folded through the toasted kunafa.

  3. 03 / Temper

    The chocolate.

    Couverture chocolate is melted and tempered on our line so it sets with a clean, glossy snap.

  4. 04 / Fill

    The mould.

    Moulds are coated with chocolate, packed with the pistachio-kunafa filling, then sealed.

  5. 05 / Set

    The chill.

    A short cool sets the shell firm so each bite releases clean from the mould.

  6. 06 / Pack

    The box.

    Bites are checked, weighed and packed fresh — made in small batches, not stockpiled.

The Collection

Kunafa, pistachio, almond and smooth premium chocolate — made fresh in small batches.

How we make it

We're a small Malappuram kitchen making pistachio-kunafa chocolate to order. Quality ingredients, a clean process, and bites packed fresh — no industrial filler, no tired stock.

  1. 01 / Ingredients

    Pistachio, kunafa, couverture

    Roasted pistachios, fine kunafa pastry and good couverture chocolate — that's the whole list.

  2. 02 / Toast & fill

    Kunafa toasted, pistachio folded

    We toast the kunafa to a crisp gold and blend it with smooth roasted-pistachio paste.

  3. 03 / Temper & mould

    Glossy shell, clean snap

    Tempered chocolate is moulded around the filling so it sets with a glossy, satisfying snap.

  4. 04 / Pack fresh

    Made to order

    Set, checked and packed in small batches so every bite reaches you fresh and crisp.
