Ingredients
Scale
- 200 g kataifi pastry
- 100 g unsalted butter, melted
- 200 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 100 g pistachios, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a round baking pan.
- Take the kataifi pastry and gently separate the strands. Place them in a large bowl, pour the melted butter over the top, and mix until all strands are coated.
- In a saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and add the chopped dark chocolate, stirring until melted and smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, mixing until fully combined.
- Add the finely chopped pistachios into the chocolate mixture and stir until evenly distributed.
- Spread half of the buttered kataifi pastry evenly along the bottom of the greased baking pan. Pour the chocolate and pistachio mixture over the top, spreading it evenly. Cover with the remaining kataifi pastry, pressing down gently.
- Place the assembled cake into the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, until the top is golden and crispy.
- Allow the cake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing for easier serving.
