Strawberries
- 1 lb. fresh strawberries cut into quarters or sliced
Pistachio kataifi
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 8 oz kataifi pastry dough roughly chopped
- 1 cup pistachio cream
- 1 Tbsp tahini optional but recommended
Chocolate
- 6 oz dark chocolate roughly chopped
- 1-2 tsp coconut oil
Garnishes
- finely chopped pistachios
- pinch of flaky sea salt
Toast kataifi
Add 2 Tbsp unsalted butter to a large skillet and heat over MED heat.
Once butter is melted, add 8 oz kataifi pastry dough and cook, stirring nearly constantly for 8-12 minutes, until golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the heat and let cool.
Melt chocolate
Heat about an inch of water in a saucepan over MED heat. Add 6 oz dark chocolate and 1-2 tsp coconut oil to a glass bowl and nest it over the top of the saucepan.
Stir often. The heat from the water simmering will gently melt the chocolate.
Alternatively, you could add the chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 20-30 second bursts, stirring in between each burst.
Assemble dessert and serve
You'll want 4 stemless wine glasses, small glass jars, or dessert cups.
Layer in the following order: strawberries, pistachio kataifi, melted chocolate. Repeat.
Sprinkle finely chopped pistachios and pinch of flaky sea salt over the top of each glass, and serve!
