- Kataifi - this is basically finely shredded phyllo dough. I’ve never heard of it or seen it in the stores in my area at all so I had to make my own)

How to make Dubai Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Please note, the amounts of chocolate, pistachio butter, and kataifi may very depending on the side of your chocolate molds. I just had a little tiny mold.
In a microwave-safe bowl melt the chopped-up chocolate. Layer a thin layer of chocolate into each mold and remove
Melt butter in a sauce pan and add the kattafi. Let it cook in the pan until its golden brown and set aside.
Open up the jar of pistachio butter and mix it with the golden brown katafi and set that aside.
Slice some fresh strawberries.
In a tall glass jar add a layer of strawberries, the katafi pisatchio mixture, and melted chocolate. Then repeat the layers until the jar is full like you’re making a parfait.
Tips for Making Dubai Chocolate Covered Strawberries
Creating Dubai chocolate covered strawberries can be an exciting culinary adventure. Here are some tips to ensure your dessert turns out perfectly:
1. Choose Quality Ingredients
- Chocolate: Use high-quality chocolate for the best taste and texture. Consider using dark chocolate for a richer flavor or white chocolate for a sweeter touch.
- Strawberries: Select fresh, ripe strawberries that are firm and free of blemishes. The fresher the strawberries, the better the final product will taste.
- Pistachio Butter: If you can't find pistachio butter in stores, you can make your own by blending roasted pistachios with a bit of oil until smooth.
2. Prepare Your Strawberries Properly
- Wash and Dry: Thoroughly wash the strawberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Any moisture on the strawberries will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
- Stem Handling: Hold the strawberries by the stem for easy dipping into the chocolate. If the stems are small or missing, you can use a toothpick to aid in dipping.
