Dubai Pistachio Bar

The Dubai pistachio bar has been a viral sensation online. Created by a chocolate company in Dubai as a dessert bar, it has taken the world by storm. The filling is a pistachio paste mixed with chocolate and shredded and fried kataifi pastry. Visually it looks incredible and the taste is a really satisfying nutty crunch. I couldn't resist trying this myself as it sounded so delicious! I used caramelised white chocolate with the lovely green pistachio paste to add an additional level of caramelised sweetness and a layer of salted caramel. I think a pinch of salt really elevates chocolate. This was then encased in a milk chocolate shell that had been decorated with copper, green and white cocoa butter. I am really pleased with the result and can now see what all the fuss is about! These will definitely be staying in the core range of handcrafted chocolate bars!
