Servings: 12 dates
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded phyllo dough kataifi, chopped
- 1 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup pistachio cream
- 12 Medjool dates pitted
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chocolate of choice
Instructions
- Prepare Pistachio filling: Heat a large heavy-duty pan over medium heat. Add the chopped katafi and butter and cook strigging occasionally, until its golden brown and crispy, then transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Add the pistachio cream to the toasted katifi and gently mix to combine.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, gently stirring to melt (alternatively melt over a double burner).
- Stuff the Dates: Place dates on a parchment lined sheetpan. Fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of the pistachio mixture and drizzle with melted chocolate. Top with a light drizzle of crushed pistachio. Transfer to the fridge to set for at least 15 minutes.
