Description
This Dubai Chocolate Bar is a decadent homemade treat featuring crispy golden kataifi dough combined with rich pistachio paste and tahini, all encased in luscious layers of milk and colored white chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups kataifi dough
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup pistachio paste
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 cups milk chocolate
- ⅓ cup white chocolate
- 3 drops green food coloring
Instructions
- Roughly chop the kataifi dough into shorter strands for easier handling and even toasting.
- Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, add the chopped kataifi threads, stirring occasionally for 5-10 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the toasted kataifi with pistachio paste and tahini. Stir to blend thoroughly and set aside while preparing the chocolate layers.
- Using a double boiler or gentle heat, melt the milk chocolate in one bowl and the white chocolate in another, taking care to stir frequently and avoid burning.
- Add 3 drops of green food coloring to the melted white chocolate and mix thoroughly until the color is even.
- Drizzle the colored white chocolate on the inside of a chocolate bar mold, then pour enough melted milk chocolate to cover the bottom comfortably. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes to set.
- Spoon the pistachio and kataifi mixture into the mold atop the set chocolate base. Use a palette knife to flatten the filling evenly and press it against the sides of the mold for a neat finish.
- Gently pour another layer of melted milk chocolate over the filling to seal the bar.
- Return the mold to the freezer for another 10 minutes or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Carefully remove the chocolate bar from the mold and enjoy this rich, textured homemade Dubai Chocolate Bar.
