Step 1

Prepare your Crispy Kataifi: In a medium pan, melt your butter and add Kataifi shredded dough. Fry until all pastry has crisped and is golden brown, approximately 5-10 min (note: you can add an additional 1 tbsp of coconut oil/butter, if needed, for extra moisture during the frying process).

Step 2

Melt half of your chocolate in the microwave, in 30 second increments. Once 3/4 of the chocolate has melted, stir continuously, to melt the remaining chocolate (note: this is a quick chocolate tempering!).

Step 3

On a flat cutting board/surface, spread your melted chocolate into a rectangle. Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix your cooled Kataifi with pistachio spread.

Step 5

Spoon crunchy pistachio spread over your melted chocolate layer, until evenly spread. Return to the refrigerator for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, melt the last half of your chopped chocolate until it is 3/4 melted. Stir the chocolate until all of it is melted (note: another quick chocolate tempering step!)

Step 7

Remove chocolate bark from the fridge and spread your second layer of chocolate over the entire surface. Optional: Decorate with crushed pistachios, crunchy kataifi bits, and melted white chocolate. Allow to cool once more in the refrigerator, this time for at least 20 minutes.

Step 8

Cut, serve, and enjoy!!

Step 9

This bark can be enjoyed straight from the fridge, freezer, or at room temperature!
