Description

Irresistible Dubai Chocolate Balls with Pistachio Bliss combine kataifi pastry, creamy pistachio butter, and rich chocolates for a decadent treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 200 grams Kataifi Pastry (or finely chopped toasted phyllo pastry)
  • 60 grams Unsalted Butter
  • 100 grams White Chocolate
  • 4 tablespoons Natural Pistachio Butter
  • 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Neutral Vegetable Oil (optional, for consistency)
  • 200 grams Dark Chocolate (melted and tempered)
  • 50 grams Chopped Toasted Pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly coat the kataifi strands with melted unsalted butter. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  2. Melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Stir in the natural pistachio butter and sea salt. Add the neutral vegetable oil if needed for consistency.
  3. Chop the cooled kataifi pastry into smaller pieces and gently fold them into the pistachio and white chocolate filling until well combined.
  4. Shape the mixture into walnut-sized balls. Place the balls on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt and temper the dark chocolate. Dip each chilled ball into the melted dark chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  6. Sprinkle the chocolate-coated balls with chopped toasted pistachios. Let them set at room temperature for 15 minutes, or refrigerate for quicker setting.
  7. Store the chocolate balls in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerate for up to one week.

Notes
