  • 50g milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional)

  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place kataifi pastry in a large bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Spread kataifi evenly on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden and crisp, stirring halfway through.
  4. Remove kataifi from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  5. Melt dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  6. Pour half of the melted dark chocolate over the cooled kataifi, spreading evenly.
  7. In a separate bowl, melt the milk chocolate until smooth.
  8. Drizzle milk chocolate over the dark chocolate layer, then sprinkle chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, and a pinch of sea salt on top.
  9. Allow the bark to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
  10. Once set, break into irregular pieces and serve or store in an airtight container.

Notes

For a festive touch, try adding orange zest or chopped dried apricots to the toppings before the chocolate sets.
