Pistachio Matcha Kataif Nests with Triple Chocolate Swirl

Ingredients

- 1 cup pistachios, shelled
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 4 oz white chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1⁄4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp matcha powder
- 4 oz kataif pastry
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1⁄2 cup pistachio cream
- 3 oz milk chocolate, chopped
- 3 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1⁄4 cup pistachios (for garnish), roughly chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Kataif Nests:
a. Gently separate the kataif pastry with your fingers to fluff it up.
b. In a large bowl, combine the kataif pastry with melted butter and mix until the strands are well coated.
c. Mold the kataif strands into small nests (about 3 inches in diameter) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Reserve for later assembly.

2. Make the Pistachio-Matcha Filling:
a. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the sweetened condensed milk, chopped white chocolate, coconut oil, matcha powder, and salt.
b. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and well-mixed.
c. Remove from heat and fold in the pistachios. Allow to cool slightly.

3. Create the Chocolate Swirl:
a. Melt the milk chocolate and semisweet chocolate separately in heatproof bowls set over simmering water (double boiler method), stirring until smooth.
b. Swirl the melted chocolates together gently without fully mixing them to create a marbled effect.

4. Assemble the Nests:
a. Spoon the pistachio-matcha mixture into each kataif nest.
b. Drizzle the chocolate swirl over each nest, allowing some to cascade over the edges.

5. Garnish and Serve:
a. Sprinkle the roughly chopped pistachios over the chocolate drizzle for added texture and aroma.
b. Allow the nests to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.
