Description
An indulgent and luxurious twist on the classic chocolate-covered strawberries, layered with golden kataifi, rich pistachio butter, and decadent chocolate. Perfect for special occasions or as an elegant dessert to impress your guests!
Ingredients
Scale
- Chocolate of choice, melted (dark, milk, or white)
- 1 (6.5 oz) jar of pistachio butter
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 bag kataifi (shredded phyllo dough)
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, sliced
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and glossy.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
- Add the kataifi and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and crispy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a bowl, combine the toasted kataifi with the pistachio butter. Mix well to create a rich, nutty filling.
- In a tall glass jar or serving dish, layer as follows:
- A layer of sliced strawberries
- A layer of the kataifi-pistachio mixture
- A drizzle of melted chocolate
- Repeat the layers until the jar is full, ending with a drizzle of chocolate on top for a beautiful finish.
- Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Serve chilled and enjoy this luxurious treat!
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best taste and texture. Dark chocolate adds a rich, bittersweet flavor, while white chocolate provides a sweeter, creamier touch.
- If kataifi is unavailable, substitute with toasted shredded coconut or crushed phyllo dough for a similar texture.
- Ensure your strawberries are fresh and fully ripe for the best flavor.
- For an extra decorative touch, garnish the top with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios or edible gold leaf to elevate the presentation!
