  • 1 cup pistachio cream
  • 1 Tbsp tahini optional but recommended
  • 6 oz dark chocolate roughly chopped
  • 1-2 tsp coconut oil
  • finely chopped pistachios
  • pinch of flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Wash and dry 1 lb. fresh strawberries.
  2. Slice strawberries into quarters.
  3. Set sliced strawberries aside.
  4. Add 2 Tbsp unsalted butter to a large skillet.
  5. Heat skillet over MED heat until butter is melted.
  6. Add 8 oz kataifi pastry dough to the skillet.
  7. Cook kataifi, stirring nearly constantly, for 8-12 minutes.

  12. Stir in 1 Tbsp tahini, if using.
  13. Set the pistachio kataifi mixture aside.
  14. Heat about an inch of water in a saucepan over MED heat.
  15. Place a glass bowl over the saucepan, ensuring it doesn't touch the water.
  16. Add 6 oz dark chocolate and 1-2 tsp coconut oil to the glass bowl.
  17. Stir often until the chocolate is gently melted and smooth.

  25. Add a pinch of flaky sea salt over the top of each glass.
  26. Serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before slicing.
Stir kataifi constantly while toasting to prevent burning.
Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
Assemble just before serving for optimal texture.
