The best part? You can make a homemade version in just 30 minutes! With a few simple ingredients and some easy-to-follow steps, you can recreate this luxurious chocolate bar in your own kitchen.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

For the Crispy Kataifi Layer:

• 2 cups kataifi (shredded phyllo dough)
• 1 tablespoon butter

For the Pistachio Cream Filling:

• 1 cup pistachio paste
• 2 tablespoons tahini

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 2 cups high-quality milk chocolate
• ⅓ cup white chocolate
• 3 drops green food coloring (optional, for aesthetic effect)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prepare the Kataifi Crunch

• Roughly chop the kataifi dough into small pieces.
• In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
• Add the kataifi, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 5-10 minutes). Set aside to cool.

2. Make the Pistachio Filling

• In a large bowl, mix the toasted kataifi, pistachio paste, and tahini until fully combined.
• Set aside while you prepare the chocolate shell.

3. Melt the Chocolate

• In separate bowls, melt the milk chocolate and white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring in between).
• Add green food coloring to the melted white chocolate and mix well.

4. Assemble the Chocolate Bar

• Drizzle the colored white chocolate inside a chocolate bar mold to create a decorative effect.
• Pour a layer of melted milk chocolate into the mold, ensuring it covers the bottom. Freeze for 10 minutes to set.
• Spoon in the pistachio and kataifi mixture, using a palette knife to flatten it and spread it to the edges.
• Cover with another layer of melted milk chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly distributed.

5. Final Touches & Setting

• Freeze for another 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set.
• Carefully remove from the mold and enjoy your homemade Dubai Chocolate Bar!

Tips for the Best Homemade Dubai Chocolate Bar:

✔ Use High-Quality Chocolate – The richer the chocolate, the more luxurious your bar will taste.
✔ Don’t Skip the Freezing Steps – This ensures the layers set properly and your bar holds its shape.
✔ Experiment with Flavors – Try adding a touch of rose water or orange blossom to the pistachio filling for an extra Middle Eastern twist.
