Make your own version of this viral delight at home
Lately, when we think of pistachio, Dubai Style Chocolate comes to mind. The viral appeal is real! But instead of spending outrageous amounts of money on a small bar or treat with very little filling, let’s make our own! You’ll love the crunch you get when bitten. Since shredded phyllo dough may not be in everyone’s pantry, we’ll use crushed up shredded wheat cereal. Our recipe makes 18 cups. Enjoy!
You will need
- 1 c pistachios, shelled
- 2 c shredded wheat, crushed
- 2 c melting chocolate wafers
- 1/2 baking bar white chocolate (50 g)
- 3 T melting white chocolate wafers, chopped
- 3/4 c whole milk, divided
- 4 T butter, divided
- 1 T powdered sugar
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 3-4 drops green food coloring
- Pinch of salt
- Chopped pistachios for garnish
Instructions
- Melt 2 T butter in a Dutch Oven or a 10” skillet over medium heat. Add shredded wheat. Cook 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally to toast the cereal. Remove from heat.
- In a microwave-safe container, add 1/2 c milk, remaining butter, and white chocolate baking bar pieces. Microwave at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave again at 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir, and microwave one last time if needed at 50% power for 30 seconds until completely smooth and melted.
- In a food processor, add pistachios, remaining milk, and powdered sugar. Process 4-5 minutes until smooth, stopping a few times to scrape down the sides. Add melted white chocolate mixture and a pinch of salt. Process for an additional 2-3 minutes, until smooth and creamy.
- Stir pistachio cream into the Dutch Oven of toasted cereal. Set aside.
- Melt milk chocolate wafers in a glass bowl over a small saucepan of simmering water. Stir constantly until completely smooth and melted.
- Use parchment liners in the cups of a muffin pan. Coat the bottoms with melted milk chocolate to form a thin layer. Use an offset spatula to line the sides of the parchment cups, halfway up. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Add ~1 1/2 T of pistachio filling and level out (we love using this set of cookie scoops). Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
- Add more melted chocolate to cover the filling.
- Use a similar method to the above to melt the white chocolate wafers. Add food coloring and stir to achieve a light green. Use a fork to drizzle over the cups.
- Top with roasted/salted pistachio crumbles. Freeze for 30 minutes. Serve or refrigerate in airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
