Description
Indulge in the trending Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup! Layers of crispy kataifi, pistachio butter, fresh strawberries, and melted chocolate make this an easy, viral dessert for home cooks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup kataifi (shredded phyllo dough)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup pistachio butter
- 1 tbsp tahini (optional)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
- 2 tbsp chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Toast the Kataifi: Thaw the kataifi according to package instructions. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the kataifi, breaking it apart with your hands. Stir constantly for 5-10 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from heat and let it cool in a bowl.
- Mix the Pistachio Layer: Warm the pistachio butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds until runny. Stir in the tahini (if using) and mix with the cooled kataifi until evenly coated. Set aside.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Assemble the Cups: Start with a layer of sliced strawberries at the bottom of each cup. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the pistachio-kataifi mix over the strawberries. Drizzle a generous layer of melted chocolate on top. Repeat the layers until the cup is full, finishing with a sprinkle of chopped pistachios.
- Chill & Serve: Pop the cups in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate. Serve cold and enjoy!
Notes
- Source quality ingredients like fresh strawberries and Royal Roastery pistachio butter for the best flavor.
- No kataifi? Substitute with crushed gluten-free cookies or toasted nuts.
- Use a piping bag for neat chocolate drizzles.
- Make ahead: Prep the kataifi mix and chocolate in advance, then assemble when ready.
