Description

Learn how to make the viral Dubai Chocolate Bar at home. Luxurious chocolate filled with pistachio cream and crispy kataifi is easier to make than you’d think!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups kataifi
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 cup pistachio paste
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 cups milk chocolate
  • 1/3 cup white chocolate
  • 3 drops food coloring (green)

Instructions

  1. Roughly chop the kataifi dough.
  2. Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, coat the pan, and add the shortened kataifi threads, stirring occasionally until becomes golden brown, 5-10 minutes. Remove from pan.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the toasted kataifi with pistachio paste, and tahini. Set aside while you prepare the chocolate.
  4. In separate bowls, melt milk chocolate (I recommend using a double boiler to do this) as well as the white chocolate.
  5. Add the food coloring to the melted white chocolate, and mix.
  6. Drizzle the colored white chocolate on the inside of a chocolate bar mold, followed by enough melted milk chocolate to comfortably cover the bottom of the mold. Freeze for 10 minutes.
  7. Spoon in the pistachio and kataifi mixture. Use a palette knife to flatten the pistachio filling and to ensure it is spread the sides of the mold.
  8. Gently add a top layer of milk chocolate.
  9. Freeze for another ten minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set. Carefully remove from the mold, and enjoy!
