Ingredients


- 1 cup kataifi dough
- 1 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 1 cup milk chocolate
- 1 cup pistachios
- 3 tablespoons butter (for frying the dough)
- 3 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the kataifi dough. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and spread the kataifi dough strands. Fry, stirring constantly, until golden and crispy (about 5-7 minutes). Place on a paper towel to remove excess grease and let it cool.

- Melt the chocolate. Melt the chocolate in a double boiler until smooth and uniform.
- Grind pistachios with honey in a blender, put them in a bowl and add kataifi.


- Shape the dessert. Take a mold, pour about half of the chocolate, and put in the freezer for 30 min.

- Put the pistachio mixture into the mold and pour the rest of the heated chocolate over it.

- Chill. Place the chocolate in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set.

- Serve. Cut the chocolate into pieces and enjoy.
