Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces dark chocolate chopped, 70% cacao
  • 1 cup pistachio paste unsweetened
  • 4 ounces kadayif pastry shredded phyllo dough
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup crushed pistachios for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt flaky

Method
 

  1. Line a rectangular chocolate bar mold or small baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. Melt 8 ounces of dark chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Pour half into the mold, spreading evenly to coat the bottom. Refrigerate for 10 minutes until set.
  3. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the kadayif pastry for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy, stirring frequently. Let cool, then roughly chop into smaller pieces.
  4. In a bowl, mix together pistachio paste, tahini, coconut oil, and honey until smooth and creamy. Fold in the toasted kadayif pieces until well combined.
  5. Spread the pistachio filling evenly over the set chocolate layer. Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top and gently press down.
  6. Melt the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate and pour over the pistachio filling, spreading to cover completely. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until completely firm. Remove from mold, cut into bars, and serve chilled. Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao content. If you cannot find kadayif pastry, substitute with toasted shredded phyllo dough or crushed kataifi. The chocolate bars taste best when served cold directly from the refrigerator for that signature crispy-creamy texture contrast.
