Ingredients
1½ cup milk chocolate (melted)
2 tbsps tahini
1½ cup pistachio cream
2 cups shredded Kataifi dough (chopped)
¼ stick butter (unsalted)
1 tsp coconut oil
¼ cup white chocolate
food coloring
Instructions
Chop the kataifi dough into smaller pieces.
In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and toast the kataifi dough until golden brown. Add the tahini and pistachio cream.
Mix until well combined, then turn off the heat.
Melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil and divide into small bowls. Add food coloring as desired and drizzle into the mold.
Melt the milk chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Pour some into the mold to coat the bottom and sides evenly.
Add the pistachio kataifi filling and smooth it out to reach all corners.
Top with more melted chocolate, spreading to fully cover the filling. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes until set.
Remove from the mold and slice into bars or break into pieces before serving.
Notes
You can use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a less sweet version.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
If pistachio cream is unavailable, substitute with a nut butter blend and sweetener.
Ensure kataifi is well toasted for the best crunch and flavor.
