🥜 1 cup of pistachio butter

🍯 4 tbsp of tahini

🥜 1/4 cup of chopped pistachios

🥛 2 cups of heavy whipping cream

🍚 4 tbsp of white sugar

🍓 1 lb fresh strawberries, diced

🍫 16 oz (1 lb) Dark chocolate

🥥 2 tbsp of coconut oil

Instructions

1- Prepare the Kataifi Pastry:

• Chop the kataifi pastry into small, manageable pieces.

• In a medium pan over medium heat, melt the butter.

• Add the kataifi and toast it until it becomes golden brown and crispy.

• Once done, set it aside to cool.

2- Mix the Base Layer:

• Stir until all the ingredients are well-incorporated, forming a consistent mixture.

3- Prepare the Whipped Cream:

• In a separate bowl, combine the heavy whipping cream and sugar.

• Using a mixer or immersion blender, whip the mixture until it thickens, ensuring it’s not over-whipped to a fluffy consistency.

4- Melt the Chocolate:

• Break the dark chocolate into pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.

• Add the coconut oil.

• Melt the chocolate using the double boiler method over simmering water, stirring until smooth.

• Alternatively, microwave the chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted.

5- Assemble the Dessert:

• Follow with a layer of melted chocolate and diced strawberries.
