How to Make Viral Dubai Pistachio Chocolate & Homemade Chocolate Mold

This recipe combines the creamy richness of pistachio paste with the decadence of melted chocolate to create a viral treat inspired by Dubai’s luxurious desserts. Let’s dive in!

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

  • 1 cup melted chocolate (dark or milk chocolate of your choice)

Decoration

  • 2 tablespoons melted white chocolate
  • Yellow and green food coloring (optional)

Pistachio Paste

  • 1 cup pistachio powder
  • 3 tablespoons dairy cream or whipped cream (either works)
  • 3 drops green food coloring
  • 3 tablespoons milk (optional, for consistency)

Kunafa Dough Base

  • 1/2 cup sawaiyan (vermicelli) or kunafa dough
  • Butter (as needed)
  • Milk (optional, for softening)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pistachio Paste

  1. In a bowl, mix pistachio powder, dairy cream, and green food coloring.
  2. If the paste is too thick, add milk one tablespoon at a time until you achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency.

Step 2: Cook the Kunafa Dough

  1. In a pan, toast sawaiyan/kunafa dough with a bit of butter until lightly golden.
  2. If needed, add a splash of milk to soften the texture.
  3. Combine the toasted dough with the prepared pistachio paste and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Homemade Chocolate Mold

  1. Take an empty milk carton and cut it in half.
  2. The inner silver coating of the carton will act as a non-stick surface for the chocolate.

Step 4: Assemble the Chocolate

  1. Pour a layer of melted chocolate into the milk carton mold, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
  2. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until the chocolate sets slightly.
  3. Add a layer of the pistachio and kunafa mixture on top of the chocolate. Smooth it out.
  4. Pour another layer of melted chocolate over the pistachio mixture to seal it.

Step 5: Decoration

  1. In a small bowl, mix melted white chocolate with a drop of yellow or green food coloring (optional).
  2. Use a piping bag or spoon to drizzle the colored chocolate over the chilled pistachio chocolate for a decorative finish.

Step 6: Final Chill

  1. Refrigerate the assembled chocolate mold for at least 1 hour to set completely.
  2. Once firm, carefully peel away the milk carton mold.

Tips for Success

  • Use high-quality chocolate for a smoother, shinier finish.
  • For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped pistachios over the pistachio paste layer before sealing with chocolate.
  • If you don’t have a milk carton, use silicone molds for easy removal.

Serving Suggestions

Cut the pistachio chocolate into bars or bite-sized pieces and serve chilled. This dessert pairs beautifully with a cup of Arabic coffee or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Enjoy your luxurious homemade treat!
