Ingredients
Scale
For the Kataifi Mixture
- 3 tbsp pistachio butter
- 3 tbsp kataifi
- 2 tsp butter
For the Chocolate
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate (chocolate chips or a bar, chopped)
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all necessary ingredients measured and ready for use to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Toast Kataifi: Place a pan on medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the kataifi and toast it until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove from the pan and let it cool on a plate.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds on high. Stir and then microwave for another 20-30 seconds until fully melted. Alternatively, melt chocolate using a double boiler to avoid burning.
- First Chocolate Layer: Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate into the bottom of each of the 5 silicone cups.
- Add Kataifi Mixture: Place a spoonful of the pistachio kataifi mixture on top of the first chocolate layer in each cup.
- Top with Chocolate: Cover the kataifi mixture with more melted chocolate to seal the layers.
- Chill: Place the silicone cups on a plate and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens and sets properly.
- Serve: Enjoy the set chocolate cups as a delicious, unique dessert or treat.
Notes
- Use a double boiler to melt chocolate gently to prevent scorching if preferred over microwaving.
- The kataifi must be toasted carefully with frequent stirring to avoid burning and to achieve a perfect crispy texture.
- Storage: Keep any leftover chocolate cups refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- Silicone cups help in easy removal and maintain the shape of the chocolate cups perfectly.
