Making the Dubai Chocolate Bar – And a Budget Version!

dark chocolate

🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia

💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate chips

Stevia reduces sugar content while maintaining sweetness.

pistachios

🥗Healthier: pumpkin seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Pumpkin seeds provide similar crunch at a lower cost.

sweetened condensed milk

🥗Healthier: coconut cream

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk + sugar

Coconut cream is dairy-free and rich.

edible gold leaf

💰Cheaper: gold dust

Gold dust offers a similar visual effect at a lower price.

Toast the kataifi in a bit of butter until golden.

Mix the toasted kataifi with pistachio paste and tahini to form a nutty, slightly sticky filling.

Melt the milk chocolate and coat the inside of a chocolate bar mould (or loaf tin).

Fill it with the pistachio mixture, then seal it with more melted chocolate and freeze.
