Yields: 2 large bars | Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 15 mins | Chill: 60 mins
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Shell
- 3 cups (540g) high-quality chocolate (milk or dark)
- 2 tbsp white chocolate (optional, for decoration)
For the Filling
- 200g Melis Fresh Kadayif
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 200g Bodrum Pistachio Cream
- 2 tbsp Bodrum Tahini
- Pinch of Bodrum Sea Salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Kataifi: Chop the kataifi dough into small pieces. Melt butter in a large skillet, add the kataifi, and stir constantly for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Let it cool completely.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, mix the cooled crispy kataifi with pistachio cream, tahini, and a pinch of sea salt until evenly coated.
- Create the Shell: Melt your chocolate. Pour a generous amount into your molds, coating the bottom and sides thoroughly. Tap to release bubbles and chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
- Fill and Seal: Spoon the pistachio-kataifi filling into the firm chocolate shells. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the top to seal the bars.
- Final Chill: Refrigerate for at least 30-60 minutes until completely firm. Demold carefully and enjoy!
Chef's Tips
- Quality Matters: Using authentic Bodrum pistachio cream makes a huge difference in achieving that rich Dubai flavor.
- Crunchiness: Ensure the kataifi is completely cooled before mixing with the cream to keep it extra crispy.
- Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 10 days. Best enjoyed chilled!
