Can you guess what this is? It's something that you've definitely heard of before, if not seen, if not tasted! This is a part, the most important part IMHO, of the latest, greatest food wave that's been going, well, around the world really. I was hesitant at first to try it, thinking it was just a fad that would fade before two blinks of the eye. But it didn't, of course, and my darling little girl finally persuaded me to spend a pretty penny to buy a bar of the famous "Dubai Chocolate." This pistachio filled chocolate bar was, to my surprise, really quite unique and OMgosh totally delious!
And what is the most important part of the Dubai Chocolate Bar? Well, it's the utterly unctuous Pistachio Kadayif Cream, of course, as shown in the photo above. This gorgeously green creamy filling combines the buttery, nutty, slightly sweet lusciousness of ground pistachio nuts in a delightful contrast with the crisp crunch of the fine kadayik dough strands. This nutty and creamy filling is the heavenly contrast to chocolate that makes the Dubai Chocolate so irresistible!
Nom, nom, nom, and just like that we were hooked! But, woozer, the 'Dubai Chocolate' anythings sure are expensive! So we found out, with a bit of research, that you can make Pistachio Kadayif Cream at home with just a wee bit of time and effort. (
And with that creamy filling we went on to make a Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Cake, omgoshdarnitall, to die for, check it out!)
