Ingredients
- 5.5oz / 155g dark chocolate - I've used 70% cacao. You can use milk chocolate if you prefer
- 4.5oz / 125g kataifi shredded filo dough - thawed if frozen
- 7oz / 200g pistachio spread/butter
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Break the chocolate into smaller pieces and add half to a heat proof bowl. Melt the chocolate in either the microwave or using double boiler method by adding a few inches of water to a pot over medium heat and place the bowl on top (making sure the water doesn't touch the bowl), melt the chocolate stirring occasionally
- Once melted, pour the chocolate into a silicone chocolate mold (see notes for size). Spread the chocolate around to an even layer using a cooking brush or spatula, making sure to also come up on the edges. Note, if there’s a lot of excess chocolate on the bottom, pour it back into the bowl. Place mold in the freezer to set for 15 minutes
- Whilst the chocolate is setting, make the filling. Roughly chop up the kataifi
- Add 2 tablespoons of oil to a skillet over medium heat and add the kataifi. Saute to toast the kataifi until golden brown and crunchy, stirring occasionally. It should take about 10 mins - keep an eye on it so it doesn't burn
- Add the toasted kataifi to a bowl and once slightly cooled, add the pistachio spread, tahini and a pinch of salt. Stir well until nicely coated
- Pour the mixture into the chocolate mold and spread it out evenly, then place in the freezer to set for 15 minutes
- Melt the remaining chocolate and pour over the filling, gently spreading out to an even layer using a rubber spatula. Remove any excess chocolate if needed. Place in the freezer to set for 1 hour
- Carefully remove bar from mold and snap the bar to reveal the creamy crunchy filling and dig into your delicious homemade Dubai Chocolate bar!
