Ingredients:
– About 2 dl Al-Badr fried kataifi.
– 2–3 handfuls of fresh strawberries, cut into pieces.
– ½ cup pistachio cream.
– 100 g milk chocolate (or Dubai chocolate), melted.
– 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios (for topping).
– Possibly a little honey or syrup (optional).
Instructions
1. Prepare the filling
Mix Al Badr's fried kataifi with the pistachio cream. Stir gently until the creamy mass holds together but still has a crunch.
2. Melt the chocolate
Melt the milk chocolate carefully in the microwave or over a water bath until it is completely smooth.
3. Assemble the dessert
Ladle into serving glasses:
– A layer of fresh strawberries
– A layer of pistachio kataifi
– Drizzle over some melted chocolate
Repeat if necessary.
4. Top & serve
Finish with extra fried kataifi, chopped pistachios and possibly a little honey for shine. Serve immediately – or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes for a firmer consistency.
