Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces kataifi shredded dough chopped
- 1 cup pistachio butter or pistachio cream
- 2 tablespoons tahini optional
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1 ½ pounds strawberries halved
- Ground pistachios
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kataifi and cook, stirring constantly until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the pistachio butter and tahini, allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
- Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30 second intervals. Stir the chocolate in between each 30 seconds until all the chocolate is melted.
- Add 8 strawberry halves each to the bottom of 4 clear 12-ounce cups, followed by a drizzle of about 2 tablespoons of chocolate to fill the gaps between the strawberries.. Add about 3 tablespoons of the kataifi filling on top. Repeat another layer of the strawberry halves close to the top of the cup, followed by kataifi filling, melted chocolate drizzle and crushed pistachios.
- Enjoy immediately or place in the fridge for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Notes
My Top Tip: Let the pistachio filling cool before layering the cups. I tested one batch while the kataifi was still warm, and it softened fast. Letting it cool helped it stay crisp.
Storage: Cover your Dubai chocolate strawberries with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. The strawberries will start to soften after about 2 days, but the cups will still taste good.
