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
  • 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

  1. 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.
  2. Transfer the kataifi to a bowl and combine it with ⅓ cup pistachio butter, tahini, and a pinch of salt until incorporated.
  3. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Transfer to the freezer for 30-40 minutes to harden a bit.
  4. Add chocolate chips and coconut oil to a heat-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until smooth.
  5. 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.
  6. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately garnish with pistachio dust and flaky sea salt before the chocolate sets.
  7. Allow to dry and set. Enjoy!
