About this recipe
Dubai chocolate bar Thermomix TM7 recipes bring the viral Middle Eastern sweet straight into your kitchen, and this all-in-one kitchen machine makes it surprisingly simple. The magic of this dessert lies in the contrast: a silky pistachio cream filling studded with golden, butter-fried Tel Kadayif pastry, all wrapped in a snap of milk chocolate. In the TM7 you grind unsalted pistachios into a fine paste, blend it with sweetened condensed milk and a hint of tahini for authentic depth, then let the gentle melting function soften chocolate and coconut oil to a glossy coating without any risk of burning. It is the kind of impressive sweet snack that works for festive occasions, homemade gifts or an afternoon treat with coffee. If you have been searching for pistachio chocolate recipes or trendy desserts made easy, this Dubai chocolate bar delivers the crackle and creaminess the original is famous for.
Preparation tips
- Toast the pistachios in a dry pan before grinding to deepen their nutty flavour; cooled nuts grind more evenly into paste without turning oily, giving the filling its signature vibrant green colour.
- Fry the Tel Kadayif in unsalted butter until golden and crisp, then let it cool completely before folding it through the pistachio cream so it keeps its crackling texture inside the chocolate shell.
- Temper the melted chocolate and coconut oil mixture patiently and tap the mould firmly on the worktop to release air bubbles, ensuring a glossy, snappy coating around the pistachio filling.
Recipe variations
- Nut-free variation: replace the pistachio cream with a toasted sunflower seed and white chocolate filling, keeping the crispy Tel Kadayif layer and omitting the tahini for a school-friendly, allergy-safe version of this chocolate bar.
- Festive variation: add a pinch of ground cardamom and a few dried rose petals to the pistachio filling, then drizzle the finished Dubai chocolate bar with dark chocolate and crushed pistachios for an elegant gift box.
