Dubai Chocolate Log
Everyone heard about the viral Dubai chocolate bars. This is our log version. Truly divine!
Ingredients:
1tsp Edible Gold Powder (or 20g white chocolate)
1/2tsp Rum or Brandy
400g Dark Chocolate
400g Fresh Kataifi Fillo
2tbsps Unsalted Butter
40g Crushed Pistachio
1tsp Carmencita Sweet Spices
400g Gusto Pistachio Cream
20g Sugar
20ml Water
2tbsp Amaretto, Whiskey, or Brandy
200g Sponge Cake
Method:
In this version, you need a silicone log mold or something similar.
Add a little Rum or Brandy to the gold dust and create a paste.
Decorate the silicone mold to create some texture.
If using white chocolate instead, melt it and drizzle it on the silicone mold. This step is optional but it will give you a decorated log in the end.
Melt 3/4 of the dark chocolate and add it to the mold.
Coat the whole mold with the chocolate and remove the excess.
Place the mold in the fridge to set—at least 10 minutes.
Cut the fillo into tiny pieces and gently fry it with the butter in a skillet over low-medium heat until it starts taking a nice golden colour.
Stir frequently to avoid burning it. It should turn golden brown.
When it's almost done, add the crushed pistachio and the sweet spices and mix well.
Remove from the heat and place it in a bowl to cool off.
When it's cool, add the pistachio cream and mix well until well combined.
In a small saucepan, create a simple syrup with the sugar and water over medium heat.
Stir until it's about to boil and the sugar is completely dissolved.
Turn off the heat and add some liqueur of your choice.
Let it cool off.
Fill the silicon mold with the fillo mixture leaving about 5cm from the surface. You might have some extra depending on the size of your container. Mine is 32cm x 13cm
Slice the sponge cake about 3cm thickness and cover the rest of the mold with it. Cut it well in order to fit the mold.
Drizzle some simple syrup on top.
Melt the rest of the chocolate and pour it over the sponge to cover the mold. This should reach the top of the mold.
Place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours to set.
Once ready, carefully remove it from the mold and serve.
