Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp kataifi pastry
  • 3 tbsp pistachio butter
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate (chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar)

Instructions

  1. Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients on the counter to have everything ready before starting the recipe.
  2. Toast Kataifi: Place a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the kataifi pastry to the pan. Toast it while stirring frequently to ensure it becomes golden brown and does not burn. Remove it from the pan and let it cool on a plate.
  3. Melt Chocolate: Put the chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate well and microwave again for an additional 20-30 seconds until fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler method to melt the chocolate slowly without burning.
  4. Prepare Chocolate Base: Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into each of 5 silicone cups to form the base layer.
  5. Mix Kataifi and Pistachio Butter: Fold the cooled toasted kataifi into the pistachio butter evenly, combining the nutty flavors with the crispy texture.
  6. Add Filling: Place a spoonful of the pistachio-kataifi mixture on top of the chocolate base in each silicone cup.
  7. Top with Chocolate: Cover the filling with another spoonful of melted chocolate to seal the mixture inside.
  8. Chill to Set: Arrange the silicone cups on a plate and refrigerate until the chocolate has solidified, firming the cups for serving.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, the Dubai Chocolate Cups are ready to be enjoyed as a delicious, sweet treat.

Notes

  • Chocolate can also be melted using a double boiler: place a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water (half filled) and stir the chocolate until melted. This method is ideal for sugar-free chocolate chips to prevent burning.
  • Stir the kataifi frequently while toasting to avoid burning and ensure even coloring.
  • Use silicone cups for easy removal of the chocolate cups once set.
