Instructions: 

  • In a large pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the kataifi and toast, stirring often, until golden brown and crisp. This should take about 5–7 minutes.
  • Remove kataifi from heat and stir in the pistachio cream until evenly coated. Mix in the crushed pistachios for added crunch. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips (microwave or double boiler). Stir in the coconut oil—this helps give the chocolate a glossy finish and smoother texture.
  • Grab a small glass, mason jar, or dessert cup and layer as follows:
    ¼ cup of fresh strawberries
    2 tablespoons of melted chocolate
    4 tablespoons of the kataifi-pistachio mixture
  • Repeat the layers once more, finishing with a sprinkle of crushed pistachios on top for a gorgeous finish.
  • You can enjoy these right away, or cover and pop them into the fridge for up to a day ahead. The layers hold beautifully and the flavours meld together even more over time.
