So UK Good Housekeeping tested the current Instagram Fad of the Day: Dubai chocolate bar stuffed with a filling of ground pistachio and shredded Kataifi pastry. GH then came up with an easier option by making truffles instead of molded bars.​

  • 150 g (5 oz) white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 50 ml (1.7 oz) double cream (heavy cream)
  • 100 g (3.33 oz)unsalted pistachios, ground to a medium-fine texture
  • 100 g (3.33 oz) bitesize shredded wheat (we used Nestle)
  • large pinch flaked sea salt
  • 250 g (8.8 oz) milk chocolate, finely chopped

Directions​

  1. Put the white chocolate and cream into a medium heatproof bowl and melt over a pan of barely simmering water, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and leave to cool, then stir in the shredded wheat, ground pistachio's and flaked sea salt. Cover and chill until firm, about 2hr.
  2. Line a large baking sheet with baking parchment. Using a teaspoon or melon baller, scoop out slightly heaped portions of the chocolate mixture and roll into balls. Arrange on the lined tray and chill again until firm, about 1hr.
  3. Melt milk chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Remove bowl from heat and stir until smooth. Leave to cool for 2min.
  4. Working one at a time, drop a truffle into the melted chocolate, quickly roll to coat and lift out with a fork. Return to lined tray. Repeat until all the truffles are coated, then chill again until firm, about 2hr. Serve.

Interesting, thanks. I bought an expensive slab of Dubai chocolate when I was in New York, as a gift for DDs. It was good, but not special. I was thinking of buying it from Lotte Mart for Christmas presents, but this looks like a better idea. I do wonder about using shredded wheat instead of kataifi, it sounds a bit... ponderous?
