Gel food coloring (optional) | As needed |
kataifi (shredded pastry) | 100g |
Unsalted butter | 2 tbsp |
Pistachio paste | 3 tbsp |
Crushed pistachios | 50g |
Edible rose petals | 2 tbsp |
Flaky sea salt | 1/2 tsp |

Instructions
- Prepare the Decoration:
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Divide the melted chocolate into small bowls and mix each with a few drops of gel food coloring to create vibrant colors.
- Use a small brush or spoon to splatter the colored chocolate onto a sheet of parchment paper. Allow it to set completely.
- Toast the kataifi:
- Chop the kataifi into small pieces for even toasting.
- Heat unsalted butter in a medium frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped kataifi to the pan, stirring constantly until golden brown and crispy. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Transfer the toasted kataifi to a bowl.
- Make the Filling:
- Add pistachio paste to the toasted kataifi and mix until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- Assemble the Chocolate Bar:
- Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave in 15-second intervals.
- Pour half of the melted dark chocolate into a parchment-lined 8×8-inch baking pan and spread it evenly.
- Let the chocolate cool slightly, then spread the kataifi-pistachio mixture on top, pressing gently to create an even layer.
- Pour the remaining melted dark chocolate over the filling, spreading it smoothly.
- Add the Final Touches:
- Break the colorful white chocolate splatters into pieces and arrange them on top of the chocolate bar.
- Sprinkle crushed pistachios, edible rose petals, and flaky sea salt for added texture and flavor.
- Optionally, add gold leaf for a luxurious finish.
- Set and Serve:
- Refrigerate the chocolate bar for 1-2 hours or until fully set.
- Once set, remove it from the pan using the parchment overhang and slice into bars.

Tips and Variations
- Storage: Store the chocolate bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
- Flavor Variations: Swap pistachio paste with almond or hazelnut paste for a different nutty flavor.
- Decoration: Use edible glitter or other sprinkles to customize the look.
