Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, separate the kataifi strands and drizzle melted unsalted butter over them, ensuring even coating. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add pistachio butter and a pinch of sea salt, mixing until well combined. Adjust consistency with vegetable oil if too thick.
- Finely chop the cooled kataifi into small pieces and fold into the pistachio mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Form walnut-sized balls from the mixture, place on a lined baking sheet, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, temper by stirring and allowing it to cool slightly.
- Dip each ball into the dark chocolate until fully coated, let excess drip off, and place back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
- Let the chocolate balls set at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then store in an airtight container.
