Here’s how to make this exquisite treat at home!
Ingredients:
For the Pistachio Butter Cream:
- 1/2 cup Gusto Etna Pistachio Butter Cream
- 1/4 cup Eastanbul Dried & Chopped Kataifi Shredded
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the Chocolate Bar:
- 2 cups high-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup Gusto Etna Pistachio Paste
- 1/4 cup Gusto Etna Chopped Pistachios
- A pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pistachio Butter Cream:
- In a medium bowl, combine the Gusto Etna Pistachio Butter Cream, Eastanbul Dried & Chopped Kataifi Shredded, and unsalted butter. Mix until smooth and well incorporated. Set aside.
-
Melt the Chocolate:
- Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces. Place it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Combine Ingredients:
- Stir the whole milk into the melted chocolate until fully blended. Then, add the Gusto Etna Pistachio Paste and mix until smooth.
-
Assemble the Chocolate Bar:
- Line a baking pan or chocolate bar mold with parchment paper. Pour half of the melted chocolate mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
- Drop spoonfuls of the prepared Gusto Etna Pistachio Butter Cream over the chocolate layer. Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the cream into the chocolate, creating a marbled effect.
- Pour the remaining chocolate mixture over the pistachio cream layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the Gusto Etna Chopped Pistachios evenly on top. If desired, add a pinch of sea salt for an extra touch of flavor.
-
Chill and Set:
- Refrigerate the chocolate bar for at least 2 hours or until it is fully set and hardened.
-
Serve:
- Once the chocolate is set, remove it from the pan and break it into pieces or cut it into bars.
