Pistachio Chocolate Bar Recipe | Dubai Chocolate Delight

Description

Hello and welcome! If you’re a fan of rich, nutty flavors and decadent chocolate, you’re in for a treat with this Pistachio Chocolate Bar recipe. Known as Dubai Chocolate, this indulgent sweet treat is not only delicious but also brings together Middle Eastern influences with a modern twist. Whether you’re looking for a dessert for special occasions or just want to spoil yourself, this Dubai Chocolate bar has everything from a smooth pistachio center to a crunchy phyllo dough layer, all enveloped in creamy milk chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1/2 cup Pistachio cream – this gives the rich, nutty flavor.
  • 1 Tbsp Tahini – adds a subtle, earthy taste to complement the pistachio.
  • 1 1/2 cup Kataifi shredded phyllo dough – provides the perfect crunchy layer.
  • 3 Tbsp Unsalted butter – to crisp the phyllo dough.
  • 16 oz Milk chocolate (melted) – about 4 chocolate bars; for the outer coating.

Optional Substitutions:

  • Dairy-free chocolate for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Almond cream instead of pistachio cream for a nutty alternative.

Instructions

 

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

Melt half of your milk chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. Tip: If you want a clean snap in your chocolate, be sure to temper it. Keep it under 90°F by checking with a thermometer.

Step 2: Prepare the Chocolate Mold

Pour the melted chocolate into a silicone chocolate mold and allow the excess to drip off into a bowl. Place the mold in the fridge to set while you prepare the filling.

Step 3: Prepare the Phyllo Crunch

Melt the butter in a pan and toss in the kataifi shredded phyllo dough. Cook over medium heat until golden brown and crispy, then let it cool.

Step 4: Mix the Filling

In a bowl, mix the pistachio cream with tahini until smooth and creamy. This will be the luxurious center of your Dubai Chocolate Bar.

Step 5: Fill the Mold

Take the chocolate mold out of the fridge and add a layer of pistachio filling. Then, sprinkle the crunchy phyllo dough on top of the filling.

Step 6: Seal with Chocolate

Melt the remaining chocolate and pour it over the filling and phyllo dough to seal the bar. Let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours or until completely set.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use a silicone mold: It’s much easier to release the chocolate bars after they’ve set.
  • Tempering the chocolate: This ensures a glossy finish and a perfect snap when you bite into it.
  • Avoid over-melting the phyllo dough: Cook it just until golden brown to maintain its crunch.
