Dubai Chocolate Strawberries
Glossy chocolate, juicy strawberries, and katifi pastry loaded with sweet, creamy pistachio cream: Say hello to Dubai chocolate strawberries.
Ingredients
- 80 g kataifi pastry
- 20 g butter
- 4 tablespoons pistachio cream
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 400 g strawberries
Instructions
- Take 80 g kataifi pastry. If your kataifi pastry comes in a tightly woven block, gently pull the strands apart, then break/cut into small pieces.
- Heat 20 g butter in a non-stick frying pan over low heat. Add the kataifi pastry and toast, stirring regularly, until golden. Don't rush this step; it can take around 10 minutes to evenly cook.
- Add 4 tablespoons pistachio cream and cooked kataifi pastry to a large bowl. Use a spoon to mix the two together until the pistachio cream thoroughly coats the pastry.
- Break 200 g dark chocolate into smaller pieces and add to a heat-proof bowl. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler (put the heat-proof bowl on top of a smaller saucepan with boiling water) or a microwave. Once melted, stir.
- Depending on the size of your strawberries, cut them in half (smaller strawberries can be kept whole). You need 400 g strawberries.
- Layer the Dubai chocolate strawberry cups by arranging strawberries, then melted chocolate, then pistachio kataifi. Repeat the layering until the cups are full.
Notes
Note: Pistachio cream (sometimes spelt "creme") is not the same as pistachio butter/paste. While pistachio cream is sweetened, smooth, and silky, pistachio butter/paste is much more rustic, with a coarser texture and no added sweeteners. For this recipe, you'll need pistachio cream.
Equipment
Double Boiler for melting the chocolate
