Make pistachio paste in a food processor if not using store-bought.

Toast 3 tablespoons of butter in a pan over medium-high heat until melted.

Add shredded filo dough to the melted butter and coat it well.

Continue to toast the filo dough until it turns golden brown, adding more butter as needed (up to 6 tablespoons total).

Once toasted, remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Mix the toasted filo dough with pistachio paste until well combined.

Melt dark chocolate melting wafers in a separate bowl.

Use a piping bag to pipe melted chocolate into the bottom of a three-part mold, filling to the waterline.

Insert the top piece of the mold to push chocolate up the sides and create an even thickness.

Place the mold in the refrigerator to set the chocolate.

Once set, remove the top pieces of the mold and fill with the pistachio and filo mixture.

Cover the filling with another layer of melted chocolate using the piping bag.

Return the mold to the refrigerator to set the final layer of chocolate.
