Ingredients

  • 4 oz kataifi
  • 3 tbsp ghee or butter
  • 1/2 cup pistachio paste
  • 12 dates or more as needed
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 8 pistachio for garnish or more

Instructions

  • Thaw kataifi according to the package directions.
  • Then use a knife or kitchen scissors to cut it thinly.
  • In a pan, add ghee and let it melt, then add kataifi and cook over medium heat while stirring continuously, once it's golden brown take it out in a bowl and let it cool down.
  • Meanwhile, remove the seeds from the dates and have them ready. Layer a tray with the parchment paper, and chop the pistachios for garnish.

  • Now fill the dates with this kataifi paste with the help of a spoon.
  • Keep the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds, take it out, and mix. Then put it back in the microwave for 10-second intervals and mix in between until completely melted.
  • Now dip the stuffed dates in the melted chocolate, try to have a thin layer. Put it on the parchment-lined tray. Garnish with chopped pistachios.
