Dubai Chocolate Bar Recipe

ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 8 ounces kataifi, roughly chopped/broken up
  • 2 (3-4 ounce) milk chocolate bars, roughly chopped
  • 2 (3-4 ounce) dark chocolate bars, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup Pistabella
  • 1/4 cup tahini

Method

  • Step 1

    Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add in the kataifi and cook, toasting the kataifi until deep golden brown and crunchy (but not burnt). Remove from heat and set aside to cool down.

  • Step 2

    In a large microwave-safe bowl, add in all the chopped chocolate. Microwave for 2 minutes, stopping halfway to stir. Stir when done - the chocolate should be melted and smooth.

  • Step 3

    In a chocolate bar mold, pour a thin layer of the melted chocolate into each slot. Make sure there’s plenty of room left still in each mold slot. Put into the fridge to allow the chocolate to set for 10 minutes.

  • Step 4

    In a large bowl, add the toasted kataifi, pistachio cream, and tahini. Mix well to evenly incorporate.

  • Step 5

    Remove the chocolate mold from the fridge. Pour a thick layer of the kataifi mixture into each mold, filling them up. Use a spoon to flatten the kataifi mixture down. Pour the remaining melted chocolate on top of the kataifi mixture, then spread the chocolate to evenly coat. Place the molds back into the fridge for 30 minutes-1 hour.

  • Step 6

    Remove the chocolate bars from the molds. Keep refrigerated. Enjoy!
