Viral Dubai Chocolate Bar Recipe
The viral Dubai chocolate bar recipe is loved for its pretty layers and unique flavors, so I had to try it and of course, make it dairy-free! This crispy kataifi pastry blends creamy pistachio, and smooth dairy-free chocolate for an irresistibly yummy pistachio chocolate bar.
Servings: 3 bars
Equipment
- 3-piece chocolate molds
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp neutral oil
- 2 tbsp dairy free butter
- 4 oz kataifi (shredded phyllo dough)
- 1 oz tahini
- 8 oz pistachio cream dairy free
- 3 cups chocolate dairy free
Instructions
- Start by preparing the pistachio kataifi filling. Add kataifi to a pan over medium heat along with neutral oil and butter. Cook, stirring frequently, until the dough becomes golden brown and crisp, about 5-8 minutes. Don't be afraid to break up the pieces!
- Transfer this mixture to a bowl along with tahini and pistachio cream and mix until smooth. Set aside.
- Melt down your chocolate and then line your chocolate mold with a thin layer of chocolate. Be sure to get the edges of the mold as well, so you create something like a shell to contain the pistachio kataifi mixture. Add the pistachio mixture in the center, being sure not to overfill it too much, and cover with more chocolate to seal.
- Let the bars sit in the fridge or freezer for 2-3 hours or until fully set and enjoy!
- Pro tip: if you end up with any leftover kataifi pistachio mixture, stir in any remaining dark chocolate and scoop tablespoons of this mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Chill until completely cool and enjoy as little chocolate bites!
Notes
- If you end up with any leftover kataifi pistachio mixture, stir in any remaining dark chocolate and scoop tablespoons of this mixture onto a lined baking sheet. Chill until completely cool and enjoy as little chocolate bites!
- Kataifi can be found in Middle Eastern or specialty grocery stores.
- Opt for high-quality dairy-free chocolate to ensure a smooth and rich shell.
