What is in the bar
A chocolate coating over a filling of home-made pistachio paste and crisp kunafa pastry. The pleasure of it is the contrast: the pastry gives way with a crackle while the chocolate stays soft against it, and the pistachio carries the flavour rather than sitting behind the sweetness.
The bar is finished in marbled white chocolate with pistachio green, so it reads as what it is before anyone has tasted it. On a gift table or a dessert display, that finish is doing work that a plain slab cannot.
The pistachio paste is made in our own kitchen rather than bought in. That is the part of the recipe most producers shortcut, and it is where the difference between a good Dubai chocolate and a forgettable one actually lives.
