Description
Delight in these Strawberry Pistachio Chocolate Cups, a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that combines the sweetness of strawberries, the crunch of pistachios, and the richness of chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 250 g (9 oz) milk chocolate (or dark chocolate, melted)
- 200 g fresh strawberries (halved or sliced)
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded kataifi pastry (or shredded phyllo, optional for texture)
- ½ cup whipped cream (sweetened)
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios
- Whole strawberries (for garnish)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour a spoonful of melted chocolate into each cup, swirling to coat the bottom and sides. Let it set slightly.
- Place halved strawberries along the inside walls of the cup for a pretty layered look.
- Add a small handful of shredded kataifi pastry (if using) to create crunch.
- Pipe or spoon a layer of whipped cream over the pastry.
- Pour more melted chocolate to cover and bind the layers.
- Add whipped cream swirls on top.
- Sprinkle generously with chopped pistachios.
- Place a whole fresh strawberry in the center for a show-stopping finish.
- Refrigerate cups for 20–30 minutes to let the layers set.
- Serve chilled, directly from the cups.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- Feel free to substitute the kataifi pastry with crushed cookies for a different texture.
- These cups can be made a few hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator until serving.
