Print Recipe
- ½ pound kataifi pastry
- ¾ cup butter or vegan butter melted
- 1 cup 100% sesame tahini
- 3 3.5-ounce bars dark chocolate (or milk chocolate if preferred)
- ¼ cup white chocolate optional for decoration
- Chocolate molds
Prepare the Base:
Melt the white chocolate (if using) in a double boiler or microwave, stirring frequently to prevent burning, until smooth and drizzlable.
Drizzle the white chocolate randomly into the bottoms of your chocolate molds to create a marbled effect. Refrigerate to set.
Prepare the Kataifi Filling:
Separate and cut the kataifi pastry into small pieces. Add it to a large dry skillet over medium heat and begin toasting.
Gradually pour in the melted butter while stirring to evenly coat the kataifi. Toast until it reaches a deep golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Remove from heat and stir in the tahini until well combined.
Assemble the Chocolates:
Remove the chocolate-coated molds from the refrigerator. Fill each mold with the kataifi-tahini mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even layer.
Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filling, spreading it evenly to seal the molds with a thin layer of chocolate.
