- 150 g 1 1/2 cups chopped kataifi pastry
- 350 g 12 oz hazelnut or pistachio cream
- 2-3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 500 g 3 cups milk chocolate
- 90 g 1/2 cup white chocolate
Prepare the Kataifi Filling:
Roughly chop the kataifi pastry and place it in a skillet or pot with the butter. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the kataifi is golden, toasted, and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, add the hazelnut or pistachio cream, and toss until the kataifi is fully coated. Set aside.
Melt the Chocolate:
Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl using either a bain marie (double boiler) or a microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until most of the chocolate has melted. The residual heat will melt the remaining small pieces. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
Melt the milk chocolate in the same manner.
Assemble the Chocolates:
Drizzle some melted white chocolate into the molds. Then, pour the milk chocolate and tilt the molds to cover them completely. Freeze the molds for 10 minutes, allowing the chocolate to harden.
Once set, fill the center of each mold with the kataifi mixture. Top off with more milk chocolate to seal the filling. Return the molds to the freezer to chill for about 15 minutes.
Store the chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few days to keep them fresh.
If you can't find high-quality milk chocolate callets, you can mix equal parts semi-sweet and white chocolate to achieve a similar level of sweetness. Alternatively, use premium European chocolate bars for best results.
