Viral Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup
This Viral Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup is a stunning, easy-to-make dessert featuring crispy phyllo cups, fresh strawberries, pistachio cream, and drizzled chocolate.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries stems removed and sliced
- 2 cups shredded thinly sliced phyllo dough (thawed) or kataifi
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 0.5 cup pistachio cream
- 1 cup chocolate melted for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded phyllo dough with the melted butter, tossing until fully coated.
- Take a muffin tin and lightly grease it. Press small amounts of the buttered phyllo dough into the muffin cups, forming little nests with enough depth to hold the filling.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the phyllo cups are golden brown and crispy.
- While the phyllo cups are baking, slice the strawberries and set them aside. Optionally, sprinkle a little sugar on them to enhance sweetness.
- Once the phyllo cups have cooled, fill each cup with a dollop of pistachio cream, followed by a generous amount of sliced strawberries.
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the filled cups for a beautiful finish.
- Arrange your Viral Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cups on a serving platter and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
