Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Cups

Cook it step by step

1. 1

   Before cooking, read every step, measure all listed ingredients and prepare the cookware named by the method. Wash and dry fresh produce, then prepare it to the size described before heating the pan.

2. 2

   Temper or gently melt the chocolates and coat silicone cup moulds.

3. 3

   Toast kataifi in butter until uniformly crisp and cool.

4. 4

   Mix kataifi with pistachio cream, tahini and salt. Mix only until the texture is even, scraping the base and sides of the bowl so no pockets of unmixed seasoning or dry ingredient remain.

5. 5

   Fill set chocolate shells, leaving space at the top.

6. 6

   Seal with more chocolate, chill briefly and unmould. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the centre is fully cold and firm enough for the next step.

7. 7

   Rest the finished food for 3–5 minutes where appropriate, taste for final seasoning and serve while its intended crispness, tenderness or temperature is at its best.
