Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 12 cups

Ingredients

  • 12 oz chopped milk chocolate
  • 2 cups kataifi pastry
  • 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2/3 cup pistachio butter
  • 6 strawberries halved

Instructions

  • Add butter and kataifi to a skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy.
  • Remove from the heat and add the pistachio butter; stir to combine.
  • Melt milk chocolate over a double boiler (or in a microwave), cover to keep warm.
  • Add cupcake liners to a muffin tray for the easiest assembly.
  • Add about 1 tsp of the melted chocolate into each cupcake liner. Add a generous portion of the kataifi filling. Flatten the mixture, then go around the edges of the liner so there’s room to pour the chocolate.
  • Distribute the remaining chocolate over the filling. Press a halved strawberry into the center of the chocolate.
  • Refrigerate until the chocolate is set.
  • Serve and enjoy, friends.

Notes

  • When melting chocolate, it is important not to burn it. Melt the chocolate until it is silky, to prevent it from burning. 
  • Store leftover chocolate in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Add the chocolate bars to candy bags to give as a gift to your friends and family!
