🙋 Recommended for

  • Those who want to enjoy the crunchy texture of popular Dubai chocolate in a fresh, new way
  • Dessert enthusiasts who love both the chewiness of marshmallow and the nutty richness of pistachio

Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings

  • kataifi 90g
  • 100% pistachio paste as needed
  • white chocolate as needed
  • heavy cream as needed
  • marshmallow as needed
  • butter as needed

Recipe 🍳

  1. Melt butter in a pan and sauté the kataifi until golden brown. Let it cool.
  2. Mix white chocolate and heavy cream in a 3:1 ratio to create a ganache.
  3. Combine the melted white ganache and 100% pistachio paste in equal parts to make pistachio cream.
  4. Mix 90g of the sautéed kataifi with 150g of pistachio cream until well blended. Shape into balls and let them firm up.
  5. In a lightly heated pan, add butter and marshmallows. Stir gently until fully melted, creating a smooth, chewy dough.
  6. Let the marshmallow dough cool slightly, then flatten it out. Place the pre-set pistachio kataifi center inside, wrap it around, and shape into a round cookie.
  1. Sauté kataifi in butter, then mix white ganache with pistachio paste to form the cream.
  2. Combine sautéed kataifi with pistachio cream, shape into balls, and let firm up.
  3. Flatten cooled marshmallow dough, insert the pistachio center, and wrap to finish.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Using 100% pistachio paste instead of pistachio spread balances perfectly with the sweetness of white chocolate.
  • The marshmallow dough should be cooled just enough to handle comfortably—too hot and shaping becomes difficult.
  • If kataifi is hard to find, substitute with crushed cereal or chocolate cookies for a similar crisp texture.
