Ingredients

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

Instructions

Slice strawberries

  • Wash and dry 1 lb. fresh strawberries, then slice into quarters. Set aside.

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.

Add pistachio cream

  • Once the dough has cooled, stir in the 1 cup pistachio cream and 1 Tbsp tahini (if using). Set aside.

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!

Notes

  1. I've estimated this recipe serves 4, however the exact serving size and number of servings are up to you.
  2. Nutritional information for this recipe is a very rough estimate, as the calculator this website uses doesn't have values for the kataifi or pistachio cream.
