Ingredients

🌾 4 cups Kataifi pastry (shredded phyllo dough)
🧈 4 tbsp of unsalted butter
🥜 1 cup of pistachio butter
🥄 4 tbsp of tahini
🥥 1 cup of chopped pistachios
🥛 2 cups of plain yogurt
🍓 1 lb fresh strawberries, diced
🍫 16 oz (1 lb) Dark chocolate
🥥 2 tbsp of coconut oil

Instructions

1- Prepare Kataifi Pastry:

• Chop the kataifi into small pieces. This will make it easier to toast and coat later.

2- Toast the Kataifi:

• Add the butter to a pan and melt over medium heat.
• Add the chopped kataifi to the pan and toast until it becomes golden brown and crispy. This should take about 5-7 minutes. Ensure you stir constantly to prevent burning.
• Once toasted, set it aside and allow it to cool completely.

3- Mix Dry Ingredients:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the toasted kataifi with chopped pistachios.

4- Add the Wet Ingredients:

• Stir in the pistachio butter and tahini until the mixture is well-incorporated and sticky.

5- Incorporate the Yogurt:

• Gently fold the plain yogurt into the mixture until it is uniformly combined.

6- Form the Bites:

• Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Using your hands or a scoop, form flat circles about 3 inches in diameter with the mixture.
• Place diced strawberries on top of each circle, pressing gently to adhere.

7- Freeze the Bites:

• Place the sheet pan with the formed bites into the freezer for about one hour until they are firm.

8- Chocolate Coating:

• In a double boiler or a microwave in 20-second intervals, melt the dark chocolate with coconut oil, stirring every interval until fully melted and smooth.

9- Coat the Bites:

• Dip each frozen bite into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.

10- Final Freeze or Serve:
- You can enjoy the bites immediately or put them back into the freezer for future enjoyment.

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour (freezing time) + 10 minutes (chocolate coating)
Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: Approximately 12 bites
Equipment: Sheet pan, parchment paper, double boiler or microwave, mixing bowl

Cooking Tips:

• Ensure the kataifi is fully cooled before mixing to maintain the crunch.
• You can substitute almonds for pistachios for a different flavor profile.
