Description
Easily make Dubai chocolate truffles at home with crunchy shredded kataifi, creamy pistachio butter, tahini, and rich dark chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 cups Kataifi (kadayif), chopped into small pieces
- ⅓–½ cup pistachio butter
- 2 tbsp tahini
- pinch of salt
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1½ tbsp coconut oil
- ¼ cup ground pistachios
- 1 tbsp flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once bubbly, add in the chopped kataifi. Cook until it becomes a golden brown color, stirring frequently.
- Transfer the kataifi to a bowl and combine it with ⅓ cup pistachio butter, tahini, and a pinch of salt until incorporated.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Transfer to the freezer for 30-40 minutes to harden a bit.
- Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a heat-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until smooth.
- Place a kataifi ball on a fork and lower it into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to pour the chocolate all over until well-covered.
- Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately garnish with pistachio dust and flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- Allow to dry and set. Enjoy!
