Ingredients
2 cups high-quality dark or milk chocolate, chopped
1 cup pistachio cream spread
1/2 cup finely crushed crispy pastry flakes or wafer crumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 cup chopped pistachios for garnish
Edible gold dust or gold flakes (optional)
Equipment Needed
Silicone chocolate bar molds
Microwave-safe bowl
Spatula
Small spoon
Refrigerator
Step-by-Step Instructions
Begin by melting the chopped chocolate using a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate becomes completely smooth and glossy. Using a spoon, spread a layer of melted chocolate inside the silicone molds, making sure the bottom and sides are evenly coated. Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate shell to firm up. In a separate bowl, mix the pistachio cream with the crushed wafer crumbs and melted butter until a slightly thick filling forms. Spoon the filling into each chocolate mold, leaving a small gap at the top so the chocolate can seal properly. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the filling, spreading gently to seal the bars completely. Tap the mold lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles and ensure a smooth surface. Sprinkle chopped pistachios or edible gold flakes on top for decoration if desired. Refrigerate the molds for about 30–40 minutes or until the chocolate bars are fully set. Carefully remove the chocolates from the molds and store them in an airtight container.
Tips for Perfect Results
Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and smooth finish. Ensure the first chocolate layer is fully set before adding the filling so the bars hold their shape properly. Keep the filling slightly thick to prevent leaking when sealing the chocolate.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these chocolates chilled or at cool room temperature for the best texture. They make an excellent edible gift when wrapped in decorative boxes or foil packaging.
Storage Instructions
Store the chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly for the best taste.
