Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter
  • 3 cups kataifi
  • ¾ cup pistachio cream
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 16 ounces good quality milk chocolate
Directions
  1. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the kataifi and cook it until lightly browned and toasted. Add it to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the pistachio cream and tahini to a small bowl.
  4. Mix to combine.
  5. Add the pistachio cream mix to the kataifi.
  6. Stir together until combined and set aside.
  7. Place ⅔ of the chocolate in a medium bowl over a simmering pot of water.
  8. Stir the chocolate while it melts. When it reaches 113 F, add the remaining chocolate, remove the bowl from the pot of water and stir until the temperature of the chocolate reduces to 82 F.
  9. Place the bowl back on the pot of simmering water and stir until the temperature reaches 86 F.
  10. Pour half of the chocolate into two molds. Tip the molds so that the chocolate reaches all the edges and up the sides. Alternatively, you can use a pastry brush to brush the chocolate up the sides of the molds. Tip out the excess chocolate into the bowl.
  11. Place the molds in the fridge to chill for 15 minutes, then remove the molds from the fridge and divide the kataifi mixture between the molds making sure to not overfill them.
  12. Spread the mixture into all corners and pat it down, making sure not to over fill the molds.
  13. Pour the remaining chocolate over the top.
  14. Use a spatula to smooth out the chocolate and to remove any excess, then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  15. Remove the chocolate carefully from the molds and serve.
