Ingredients
10oz Dark or Milk Chocolate Melted
Pistachio cream: 1/2 cup (or pistachio butter).
Kataifi: 1 cup toasted phyllo dough
Tahini should be mixed with one tablespoon of unsalted butter for toasting kataifi breads.
Decorate with edible gold leaf or white chocolate.
Step-by-Step instructions
- To toast Kataifi, melt some butter in a medium heat saucepan before adding the Kataifi.
- Continue stirring frequently until golden-brown and crispy – about five to ten minutes should do it – before placing aside to cool off completely.
- Prep the Chocolate. Begin by melting half your dark or white chocolate using either a double boiler, microwave at 30-second intervals, or silicone moulds
- pour it out of these, pour it onto silicone bases that you have positioned, tap on them to release any air bubbles, then put into the refrigerator to set.
- Mix together the cooled Kataifi, pistachio creme and tahini until fully blended for an irresistibly crunchy, rich nutty filling that has an irresistibly delicious crunch!
- Once the chocolate has set, add filling to each bar, leaving space around its edges. Pour any remaining chocolate over the filling and press together; tap mold if necessary to release any air bubbles.
- Once the bars have set completely, refrigerate for at least an hour before removing from their molds.
Tips for Success
- This bar is all about texture. The combination of crunchy kataifi with creamy pistachios gives this treat its signature crunch. To achieve optimal results, toast your kataifi first.
- Choose ingredients of high-quality. Delicious chocolate and fresh pistachios will enhance the flavor of any dessert you create.
- Keep the mold chilled to make removing the bars easier.
- for maximum freshness and longer term preservation, store chocolate bars in an airtight box in the fridge for no longer than two weeks; they can also be frozen for additional storage purposes.
