Ingredients
For the Filling:
8 ounces kataifi pastry, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup pistachio cream (or homemade pistachio butter)
1/4 cup tahini
For the Chocolate Layers:
16 ounces high-quality milk chocolate, chopped
8 ounces high-quality dark chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
tep 1: Toasting the Kataifi Pastry
Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the kataifi pastry and stir continuously.
Toast for 5-8 minutes until golden brown and crunchy. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2: Melting the Chocolate
Melt the milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval.
Repeat the process with the dark chocolate in a separate bowl.
If using white chocolate for decoration, melt and set aside.
Step 3: Layering the Chocolate and Filling
Pour a thin layer of melted milk chocolate into silicone chocolate bar molds, ensuring even coverage.
Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
Add a generous amount of the toasted kataifi-pistachio mixture to each mold and flatten evenly.
Pour the remaining melted milk and dark chocolate over the filling, covering it completely.
Optional: Drizzle melted white chocolate on top for decoration.
Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour until fully set.
Step 4: Unmolding and Serving
Carefully remove the bars from the molds. Trim excess chocolate if necessary.
Serve slightly chilled and enjoy!

Freeze for longer storage (up to three months). Thaw in the fridge before serving.
