Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate with the cocoa butter in a bain-marie, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  2. Fry the kadaif noodles in a pan with the clarified butter over medium heat, stirring, until crisp and golden. Let cool.
  3. Mix the pistachio paste, tahini, a pinch of salt and the oil to make a soft cream.
  4. Fold the golden kadaif into the pistachio cream, lightly crushing it to form a crumbly filling.
  5. Line a small bar mould with a thin layer of melted chocolate, then chill for about ten minutes in the fridge.
  6. Fill the chocolate shell with the pistachio-kadaif filling, then cover with a layer of melted chocolate and tap the mould to release air bubbles.
  7. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios before the chocolate sets, then refrigerate for 30 minutes before unmoulding.

Variations and tips

Creamy version. Replace the milk chocolate with white chocolate for a milder, sweeter taste.

With what you can find here. Replace the pistachio paste with pistachios blended with a little oil and icing sugar.
