Ingredients
Chocolate Shell
12 oz milk or dark chocolate bar, chopped
Pistachio Kataifi Filling
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 oz kataifi dough, finely chopped (or finely shredded phyllo)
1 (7 oz) jar pistachio butter or pistachio cream
1 tablespoon tahini
Pinch of salt
Instructions
Coat with Main Chocolate Layer
Melt the chopped milk or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using the same 30-second interval method, stirring each time.
Pour half of the melted chocolate into each mold over the white chocolate drizzle.
Use a pastry brush or spoon to spread chocolate evenly up the sides.
Freeze for 20 minutes until the shell hardens.
Make the Filling
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
Add chopped kataifi and stir constantly for 8–10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
Remove from heat and stir in pistachio butter, tahini, and a pinch of salt.
Let cool for 10 minutes.
Fill the Molds
Divide the pistachio-kataifi mixture evenly between the chocolate molds.
Press and spread the filling down gently to flatten the surface.
Seal the Bars
Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filling in each mold.
Spread evenly to cover the filling completely.
Freeze again for 20 minutes or until fully set.
Unmold & Serve
Gently remove bars from molds. Slice in half to serve.
Store in the fridge for best texture and freshness.
Notes
You can substitute shredded phyllo if kataifi is unavailable.
Use high-quality pistachio butter (ingredients should be mostly pistachios).
Bars will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
