Roughly chop the kataifi pastry and roast it in butter over medium heat until golden and crisp, stirring to avoid burning. Set aside to cool.

Melt white chocolate and let it cool slightly. Blanch pistachios in boiling water for 3–4 minutes, strain, and cool. Blend pistachios alone first, then add melted chocolate and a splash of milk to make a smooth sauce.

Whip chilled cream until thick, then slowly add icing sugar. Once soft peaks form, add mascarpone cheese and gently blend.

Make saffron milk by stirring saffron into cold milk and letting it sit, or use a coffee and water mix for soaking.

Dip ladyfingers quickly into saffron milk and place them in a dish. Spread a layer of mascarpone cream, drizzle pistachio sauce, sprinkle roasted kataifi, and crushed pistachios. Repeat the layers.

Finish with cream, sauce, kataifi, and pistachios. Cover and chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
