Pistachio Chocolate Bark {Viral Trend}
Crispy. Crunchy. Delicious. My irresistible Chocolate Pistachio Bark is a simple & stress-free adaptation of the TikTok Viral Dubai Chocolate Bar! The combination of creamy pistachio butter and crunchy toasted Phyllo pastry (Kataifi), in between thin, decadent layers of chocolate will leave your taste-buds tingling! No chocolate mold or thermometer necessary.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Kataiffi (shredded pastry) frozen/refrigerated, thawed to room temperature
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Pistachio paste
- 400 g (14 oz) Milk Chocolate or Semi-sweet chocolate roughly chopped chocolate (preferred over chocolate chips)
Optional Decorations
- 2 tbsp White Chocolate Chips Melted
- 1 tsp Crushed Pistachios
- 1 tsp Chocolate Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare your Crispy Kataifi: In a medium pan, melt your butter and add Kataifi shredded dough. Fry until all pastry has crisped and is golden brown, approximately 5-10 min (note: you can add an additional 1 tbsp of coconut oil/butter, if needed, for extra moisture during the frying process).
- Melt half of your chocolate in the microwave, in 30 second increments. Once 3/4 of the chocolate has melted, stir continuously, to melt the remaining chocolate (note: this is a quick chocolate tempering!).
- On a flat cutting board/surface, spread your melted chocolate into a rectangle. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix your cooled Kataifi with pistachio spread.
- Spoon crunchy pistachio spread over your melted chocolate layer, until evenly spread. Return to the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the last half of your chopped chocolate until it is 3/4 melted. Stir the chocolate until all of it is melted (note: another quick chocolate tempering step!)
- Remove chocolate bark from the fridge and spread your second layer of chocolate over the entire surface. Optional: Decorate with crushed pistachios, crunchy kataifi bits, and melted white chocolate. Allow to cool once more in the refrigerator, this time for at least 20 minutes.
- Cut, serve, and enjoy!!
- This bark can be enjoyed straight from the fridge, freezer, or at room temperature!
