Description
This Strawberry Dubai Chocolate Cup is a luxurious layered dessert with crispy toasted filo, rich pistachio butter, melted chocolate, and fresh strawberries. It’s a perfect balance of crunch, creaminess, and sweetness, making every bite irresistible.
Ingredients
- 1 cup filo dough, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup pistachio butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chocolate, melted
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped pistachios
Instructions
-
Thaw the filo dough according to the package instructions. Once thawed, place it on a cutting board and cut it into thin sections. Using clean hands, separate the strands to ensure they are evenly shredded and not clumped together.
-
Toast the filo by heating a pan over medium heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely. Once the butter starts to shimmer, add the shredded filo and stir continuously for 5 to 10 minutes. Keep stirring until the filo turns golden brown and crispy. Remove it from the heat and transfer it to a bowl to cool.
-
Melt the pistachio butter by placing it in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving it in short 10-second bursts until it becomes runny. If using a double boiler, stir the pistachio butter gently over low heat until smooth. Pour the melted pistachio butter over the toasted filo and mix well to coat evenly.
-
Melt the chocolate in a separate bowl using the same method—either in the microwave in short intervals or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and glossy.
-
Layer the dessert in a serving glass or mason jar. Start by adding a layer of fresh sliced strawberries at the bottom. Next, spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons of the pistachio filo mixture on top. Drizzle a layer of melted chocolate over it. Repeat the layering process until the jar is full, ensuring each layer is evenly distributed.
-
Finish with a topping by adding any remaining crispy filo and a sprinkle of chopped pistachios for extra crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
- Toast the filo until golden and crispy to get the best texture.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate—melt it gently to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately to keep the filo crunchy.
- Experiment with other fruits like raspberries or bananas for variety.
