Equipment
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Spatula
- Serving glasses or cups
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 150 g dark chocolate (70%)
- 100 g heavy cream
- 200 g mascarpone
- 120 g unsweetened pistachio paste
- 60 g powdered sugar
- 200 ml whipping cream
- 80 g kataifi pastry (or shredded phyllo)
- 40 g melted butter
- 20 g sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F). Toss kataifi pastry with melted butter and sugar, spread on a baking sheet, and bake until golden brown. Let cool completely.
- Heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over finely chopped dark chocolate. Stir until smooth and glossy. Divide into serving glasses and chill until firm.
- Beat mascarpone, pistachio paste, and powdered sugar until smooth. Whip cream to soft peaks and fold into the pistachio mixture gently.
- Layer the chocolate base, then pistachio mousse, and sprinkle with kataifi. Garnish with chopped pistachios, melted chocolate, and gold leaf.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for a richer flavor. Chill each layer properly for the best texture; be patient during this step. You can prepare the components ahead and assemble just before serving. Store in the fridge for up to two days; keep the kataifi separate until serving for optimal crunch. For a fun garnish, lightly toast the pistachios before using.
