Ingredients for the vegan Dubai chocolate tart
- 200 g dark chocolate, homemade
- 120 g kataifi pastry (angel hair)
- 160 g dates, pitted
- 120 g pistachio butter
- 40 g tahini
- 50 g almond butter, white
- 10 g cacao butter, melted
Preparation
- Prepare the chocolate: Break the dark chocolate into small pieces and melt carefully over a water bath. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has completely melted and is nice and smooth.
- Line a mold (approx. 18-20 cm) with parchment paper and spread half of the chocolate evenly on the bottom. Let it cool completely.
- Dates: Place the dates together with the melted cacao butter into a food processor and pulse until they form a coarse paste. Distribute this evenly in the mold over the set chocolate layer and press down.
- Toast the pastry: Lightly toast the kataifi pastry in a dry pan over medium heat until it takes on a golden color. This gives it a slightly nutty aroma and a crunchy texture.
- Mix the nut butters: Stir the pistachio, almond, and sesame butters together in a bowl and fold in the toasted pastry. Spread the mixture over the date paste and smooth it out evenly.
- Top with the remaining melted chocolate and decorate as desired, e.g., with pistachio kernels.
- Place in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until the chocolate has set.
- Serve: Cut the finished Dubai chocolate tart into small pieces and enjoy.
This oriental specialty offers a perfect balance of sweetness, crunch, and the nutty aroma of pistachios and sesame.
