Pistachio Chocolate Bar Delight (Printable Version)
Silky chocolate envelops a luscious pistachio center, topped with nuts for texture and deep flavor.
# Ingredients:
→ Chocolate Shell
01 -
300 g high-quality milk chocolate, or substitute with dark or white chocolate
02 -
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
→ Pistachio Filling
03 -
150 g pistachio paste
04 -
1–2 tablespoons powdered sugar or maple syrup, to taste
05 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Finishing Touch
06 -
2 tablespoons crushed pistachios, for topping
# Steps:
01 -
Gently melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Incorporate coconut oil if using for a silkier texture.
02 -
Pour half of the melted chocolate into a parchment-lined loaf pan or chocolate bar mold. Tilt the mold to coat evenly, ensuring complete coverage. Chill for 10–15 minutes until just set.
03 -
Combine pistachio paste with powdered sugar or maple syrup and vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
04 -
Evenly spread the pistachio mixture over the cooled chocolate base, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent overflow.
05 -
Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the pistachio filling, covering it completely. Gently tap the pan on the counter to release any air bubbles for a uniform finish.
06 -
Place the mold in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours, or until the chocolate bar is fully set and firm to the touch.
07 -
Scatter crushed pistachios over the top before slicing into portions. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
