Description

Dubai Chocolate Balls with Pistachio Filling are delightful treats that combine rich dark chocolate with a creamy pistachio filling, offering a unique blend of textures and flavors.


Ingredients

  • 🍫 Dark chocolate – 200 grams (about 7 oz)
  • 🌰 Pistachio kunefe filling – 100 grams (about 3.5 oz)
  • 🌰 Crushed pistachios – 50 grams (about 1.75 oz)
  • 🍫 Cocoa powder – 2 tablespoons
  • 🥥 Coconut flakes – 2 tablespoons

Instructions

  1. Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
  2. Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water to create a double boiler and melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally.
  3. While the chocolate melts, prepare the pistachio filling by stirring it and adding optional honey or rose water.
  4. Once the chocolate is melted and slightly cooled, scoop a small amount and roll it into a ball, making an indentation in the center.
  5. Fill the indentation with the pistachio filling and encase it by rolling the chocolate back into a ball shape.
  6. Place the chocolate balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
  7. Mix cocoa powder and coconut flakes in a shallow dish for coating.
  8. Once set, roll each chocolate ball in the cocoa-coconut mixture until fully coated.

Notes

  • Ensure to melt chocolate slowly to avoid overheating.
  • Allow melted chocolate to cool slightly before forming balls.
  • Do not overfill the chocolate balls to prevent cracking.
  • Refrigerate the chocolate balls to help them set properly.
  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
