Chocolate Kataifi Bark

Chocolate Kataifi Bark combines crispy shredded kataifi pastry with rich melted chocolate for a decadent and crunchy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g kataifi pastry
  • 150g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped
  • 100g milk chocolate, chopped
  • 50g unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Place the kataifi pastry in a large bowl and gently shred it into smaller pieces.
  3. Melt the butter and honey together in a small saucepan over low heat.
  4. Pour the melted butter and honey mixture over the kataifi and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Spread the coated kataifi evenly on the prepared baking tray and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  6. While the kataifi cools, melt the dark and milk chocolates separately using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently.
  7. Layer half of the baked kataifi on parchment paper, drizzle with half of the dark chocolate, then sprinkle with some pistachios and sea salt.
  8. Repeat with the remaining kataifi and milk chocolate, topping again with pistachios and a pinch of sea salt.
  9. Allow the bark to set at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes until firm.
  10. Break into irregular pieces and serve.

Notes

For an extra indulgent touch, drizzle the bark with white chocolate or add dried fruit such as cranberries before the chocolate sets.
