Dubai Chocolate Strawberries with Pistachio Cream & Kataifi – A Luxury Dessert Made Easy
Ingredients
- 300 grams fresh strawberries
- 1 tablespoon butter or ghee
- 57 grams Kataifi dough
- 5 tablespoons pistachio butter
- 50 grams milk chocolate
Instructions
step one, Prepare the Strawberries
- Clean, pat dry, and cut the strawberries into bite-sized pieces. This makes them easier to eat and ensures the melted chocolate sticks better.
step two, Toast the Kataifi Dough
- Cut the kataifi dough into smaller pieces and toast them in a pan with butter or ghee over medium heat. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly. Once golden brown, remove from the stove. We toasted our Kataifi too much so try to go for a lighter toasted look.
step three, Mix with Pistachio Cream
- Add the pistachio cream to the toasted kataifi and mix well. Set aside some pistachio cream for decoration later, if you’d like, though it’s not necessary.
step four, Melt the Chocolate
- Melt the milk chocolate (or your choice of chocolate) in the microwave, stirring every 15-20 seconds to avoid burning. Once smooth and melted, it’s ready to use.
step five, Build the Chocolate Strawberries
- Start by adding a layer of fresh strawberries at the bottom of your glass or serving dish. Then, add a layer of the pistachio mixture, followed by a drizzle of melted chocolate. Repeat the layers—strawberries, pistachio mixture, and chocolate—until you reach the top.
step six, Enjoy!
- Once everything is layered and the dessert is assembled, it’s time to indulge in these delicious, luxurious Dubai chocolate strawberries! Enjoy your perfect blend of textures and flavors.
Notes
Watch the kataifi closely – This pastry toasts quickly, and if left unattended, it can burn fast. Keep stirring it until it reaches a golden brown color, which gives it the perfect crunchy texture to pair with the pistachio cream and chocolate.
Properly wash and dry the strawberries – Be sure to clean the fresh strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry. Any moisture can cause the melted chocolate to slide off instead of sticking to the fruit.
Melt the chocolate carefully – Whether you choose milk chocolate or another type, melt it slowly over low heat, stirring every 15-20 seconds to achieve a smooth, silky texture.
