Step-by-Step Directions for Kunafa Chocolate Recipe
1. Prepare the Pistachio Cream
- In a blender, add boiled pistachios, chopped white chocolate, caster sugar, hot water, and a few drops of green food color.
- Blend everything together until it forms a thick and smooth paste. Your pistachio cream is ready!
2. Prepare the Kunafa Stuffing
- Cut the kataifi dough into small pieces and set it aside.
- In a frying pan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat.
- Add the cut kataifi dough to the pan, stir well, and cook until it turns light golden (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove from heat and add the prepared pistachio cream to the cooked dough. Mix well until thoroughly combined. Let the stuffing cool.
3. Assembling the Kunafa Chocolate
- Take two identical silicone chocolate molds for this step.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate in one of the molds to create a marble design. Let it set for a few minutes.
- Spread melted dark chocolate evenly in both molds, ensuring the excess chocolate is removed. Freeze the molds for 15 minutes to set.
- Once the chocolate is set, spread the prepared kunafa stuffing evenly in one mold.
- Add melted dark chocolate around the sides of the mold to create a seal, and place the second chocolate mold on top, gently pressing them together to stick.
- Freeze again for 15 minutes to set completely.
- Carefully demold the chocolates and enjoy your delicious Kunafa Chocolate bars! (Makes 2 bars)
