Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Bar
Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 2 cups kataifi
- 1/4 cup pistachio butter
- 1/4 cup Monin Strawberry Purée
- 16 oz high quality bittersweet chocolate
- 8 oz high quality bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
Glass: Culinary
Glass Size: 10-12 chocolate bars.
Instructions
- In a small nonstick pan, melt the butter over medium heat until foaming.
- Add in the kataifi and cook until golden brown throughout (about 10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- While the kataifi cooks, in a mixing bowl combine the puree and pistachio butter, mixing until well combined.
- Set up a double boiler and place the desired chocolate bar mold onto a sheet tray for ease of transportation.
- Once the kataifi is cooked, mix in with the pistachio butter mixture until well combined and set to the side to fully cool.
- While the filling cools, add the 16 oz of chocolate to the double boiler, mixing until fully melted and a temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit is reached.
- Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir in the finely chopped chocolate, stirring until a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit is reached.
- Return the chocolate to the heat for 15-20 seconds, or until a temperature of 89 degrees Fahrenheit is reached.
- Pour the tempered chocolate into the chocolate bar molds and drain the excess by holding the molds upside down, reserving the excess chocolate.
- Transfer the molds to the freezer and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Fill the molds with the pistachio filling and top with more tempered chocolate, using a spatula to smooth out the surface and scraping off excess chocolate.
- Transfer the bars to the freezer and allow to chill for 15 minutes before removing the bars from their molds and serving.
