Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 150 g gadaifi pastry
Cut about 150 g of kadaifi off the pack and chop it; put it in a pot or deep, high-sided skillet so the light strands do not fly out.
- 2–3 tbsp unsalted butter
Add 2 to 3 tbsp unsalted butter and cook on medium heat until the kadaifi is golden and crispy; remove from the heat.
Toasting the kadaifi in butter
- pistachio cream
While still slightly warm, mix half the kadaifi with enough pistachio cream to coat it, plus a little more, so the filling is gooey and not dry.
Pistachio and hazelnut fillings
- vanilla hazelnut spread
Mix the remaining kadaifi with vanilla hazelnut spread the same way, a little extra for good measure; set aside.
- 90 g white chocolate
- 500 g milk chocolate
Put the white chocolate and the milk chocolate (half semi-sweet, half white) in separate bowls and melt over a bain-marie, stirring until only a few pieces are unmelted; take off the heat and whisk smooth. Or microwave in 20-second increments; overheated chocolate burns, separates and goes crumbly.
Cover the molds completely with milk chocolate, shaking it round and dripping the excess back into the bowl; clean the edges with an offset spatula.
Fill half with pistachio and half with hazelnut kadaifi filling almost to the top, pressing flat and even.
Filling, sealing and setting
Pop out of the molds and trim any chocolate sticking out with a sharp knife; refreeze if they start to melt.
