Ingredients:
- 300 g milk chocolate
- 250 g pistachio spread
- 150 g kadaif noodles
- 50 g butter
Instructions:
- Prepare the Kadaif Filling:
- In a skillet, melt the butter. Add chopped kadaif noodles and stir until they are golden brown.
- In a bowl, mix the toasted kadaif noodles with pistachio spread until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare the Chocolate:
- For a simple method, melt the chocolate in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between each until smooth.
- Pour some of the melted chocolate into chocolate molds, tapping slightly to fill the crevices. Invert the mold briefly to remove excess chocolate, then use a spatula to smooth and clean the edges.
- Freeze the mold for a few minutes to set the chocolate.
- Assemble the Chocolates:
- Remove the mold from the freezer. Fill each chocolate cavity with the pistachio and kadaif filling, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Cover with more melted chocolate, removing any excess with the spatula.
- Freeze again until the chocolate is firm.
