1
Prepare the Strawberries
Rinse the fresh strawberries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Make sure they are completely dry to ensure the chocolate adheres well.
2
Prepare the Kataifi
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the Kataifi pastry with melted unsalted butter until evenly coated. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

3
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, break the dark chocolate into small pieces. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
4
Dip the Strawberries
Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the strawberries on a parchment-lined tray.

5
Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, whip until soft peaks form.
6
Fold in Pistachios
Gently fold in the finely chopped pistachios into the whipped cream until evenly distributed.

7
Assemble the Strawberries
Using a piping bag or a spoon, layer the whipped pistachio cream on top of the chocolate-dipped strawberries. Ensure each strawberry is generously topped.
8
Add Kataifi
Sprinkle the crispy Kataifi over the cream-topped strawberries for added texture and crunch.
9
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the assembled strawberries for about 15 minutes to allow the layers to set before serving. Enjoy your Dubai Chocolate Strawberries!
