Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cups

A layered dessert combining fresh strawberries, melted milk chocolate, and creamy pistachio with a crunchy bite of toasted kataifi.

Ingredients

  • 600 g Fresh strawberries (about 1.3 lbs)
  • 150 g Milk chocolate (about 5.3 oz)
  • 200 g Pistachio cream (about 7 oz)
  • 100 g Kataifi pastry (about 3.5 oz)
  • 30 g Butter (about 2 tbsp)
  • Slivered pistachios (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then slice them in half lengthwise. Set aside in a bowl.
  2. Slice kataifi pastry into small pieces. Toast in butter over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown.
  3. Mix the toasted kataifi with pistachio cream until evenly coated, creating a chunky textured spread.
  4. Melt milk chocolate in the microwave (30-second intervals at 50{c3709242858ea63f6f518f0e60e34661b2045d832188e8006804732198b61355} power) or using a double boiler until smooth and glossy.
  5. Assemble the cups by layering strawberries, kataifi-pistachio mix, and melted chocolate in serving glasses. Repeat layers and garnish with slivered pistachios.

Notes
