Ingredients:
- 150g kataifi pastry, finely chopped
- 45g unsalted butter
- 200g pistachio cream
- 15g tahini
- 300g milk chocolate, chopped
- 100g dark chocolate, 60% cocoa
- 15ml refined coconut oil
- 2 lbs fresh strawberries, washed and dried
Instructions:
- Chop 150g kataifi pastry into small pieces. Melt 45g unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pastry and stir constantly for 5 to 7 minutes until deep golden and smelling like toasted nuts.
- Remove the pastry from the heat and transfer it to a mixing bowl. Fold in 200g pistachio cream and 15g tahini while the pastry is still warm. Mix until every strand is coated in green silk.
- Spread the pistachio mixture into the bottom of a shallow dish. Press it down firmly with the back of a spoon until you have a flat, even surface.
- Combine 300g milk chocolate, 100g dark chocolate, and 15ml coconut oil in a bowl. Microwave in 30 second bursts, stirring in between, until the mixture is velvety and flows like ribbons.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the pistachio base. Tilt the dish to ensure it reaches all the corners until the green layer is completely hidden.
- Place the dish in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Wait until the chocolate is set but not rock hard.
- While the dip sets, ensure your 2 lbs of strawberries are completely dry. Check the crevices around the leafy greens for any hidden droplets of water.
- Remove the dip from the fridge. Use a knife to lightly score the top of the chocolate if it feels very firm. Serve immediately until the first person breaks the chocolate seal.
