Dubai Strawberry Cup is a delightful Middle Eastern-inspired dessert featuring crispy shredded filo or Kataifi pastry, layered with a rich pistachio or Biscoff butter, topped with smooth melted chocolate and fresh strawberries, garnished with toasted pistachios for a perfect balance of textures and flavors.

Ingredients

Pastry

  • 1 ½ cups shredded filo or Kataifi
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Filling and Topping

  • ⅓ cup pistachio butter or Biscoff spread
  • 1 bar dark chocolate, or your favorite type of chocolate
  • 7 strawberries, sliced or quartered
  • Chopped toasted pistachios, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pastry: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, gently toss the shredded filo or Kataifi with melted butter until evenly coated. Spread this mixture evenly in small ramekins or dessert cups.
  2. Bake the Pastry: Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the filo is golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye to avoid burning.
  3. Add Pistachio Butter: Remove the ramekins from the oven and immediately spread the pistachio butter or Biscoff on top of the warm filo to melt slightly into the crispy layers.
  4. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler method or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
  5. Assemble the Cup: Drizzle or spoon the melted chocolate over the pistachio butter layer evenly.
  6. Top with Strawberries: Arrange sliced or quartered fresh strawberries on top of the chocolate layer for freshness and color.
  7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped toasted pistachios over the strawberries for added crunch and nutty flavor.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast between warm crispy filo, melted chocolate, and fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Kataifi pastry is a great alternative to shredded filo for added texture.
  • You can substitute pistachio butter with Biscoff spread for a different flavor profile.
  • Serve this dessert fresh as the pastry can lose its crispness over time.
  • For a vegan version, use dairy-free butter and chocolate.
