Ingredients

  • 300 g high -quality milk chocolate, chopped
  • 100 g kataifi pastry, finely shredded
  • 30 g unsalted butter
  • 150 g pistachio cream or spread
  • 15 g tahin i
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Melt 150g of the milk chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  • Using a pastry brush or spoon, coat the bottom and sides of 12 silicone cupcake liners with a thick layer of melted chocolate.
  • Place the liners in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the chocolate shell.
  • In a frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the shredded kataifi pastry and toast, stirring constantly, for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Transfer the toasted kataifi to a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
  • Add the pistachio cream, tahini, and sea salt to the kataifi. Mix thoroughly until the pastry is evenly coated.
  • Remove the chocolate shells from the freezer and fill each cup 3/4 full with the pistachio-kataifi mixture, pressing down gently.
  • Melt the remaining 150g of milk chocolate and pour over the filling in each cup, smoothing the top to seal the edges.
  • Refrigerate the cups for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate is completely firm before removing from the silicone liners.
