  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Cheese Filling

  • 250 g Cream Cheese (room temperature)
  • 200 ml Heavy Cream
  • ¼ cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Kataifi and Pistachio Layer

  • 250 g Kataifi
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1½ cup Pistachio Cream
  • 50 g White Chocolate

Chocolate Ganache

  • ⅔ cup Milk Chocolate
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Pistachio Ganache

  • ½ cup Pistachio Cream
  • 50 g White Chocolate
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheese Filling: Mix cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Pour the cheese mixture into a mold and freeze for 3 hours to set.
  2. Prepare Pistachio Kataifi: Chop the kataifi pastry if needed. Toast it in a pan over medium heat with unsalted butter until it turns crispy and golden brown. Transfer the toasted kataifi to a mixing bowl.
  3. Combine Kataifi with Pistachio Cream and White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate gently. Pour the melted white chocolate into the toasted kataifi and add pistachio cream. Mix thoroughly to ensure even coating.
  4. Make Chocolate Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles appear at the edges. Remove from heat, add milk chocolate, and let sit for 3 minutes. Stir until smooth and well combined. Allow to cool.
  5. Make Pistachio Ganache: Heat heavy cream over medium heat until bubbles appear at the edges. Remove from heat, add white chocolate and pistachio cream, let sit until white chocolate melts, then stir to combine smoothly.
  6. Assemble Pistachio Cheese Bomb: Create four round molds using mica plastic. Place half of the pistachio kataifi mixture evenly in each mold and press down firmly with a spoon.
  7. Add Cheese Filling: Remove the cheese filling from the freezer mold and place it on top of the pistachio kataifi layer in each mold.
  8. Cover with Remaining Kataifi: Add the rest of the pistachio kataifi mixture over the cheese filling and press firmly with a spoon until fully covered.
  9. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled molds for 30 minutes to firm up.
  10. Final Touch and Serve: Remove the desserts from the fridge and peel off the mica molds carefully. Pour chocolate ganache and pistachio ganache over each cheese bomb before serving. Enjoy your decadent Dubai Pistachio Cheese Bomb!

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
  • Toast kataifi carefully to avoid burning; it should be crispy and golden.
  • Use good quality pistachio cream and chocolate for best flavor.
  • Freezing the cheese filling helps maintain the shape during assembly.
  • The mica plastic mold helps create a neat, round shape for the dessert.
  • Ganache can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bring it to room temperature before pouring.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best taste.
