Instructions
Step 1
Begin by soaking the **gelatin** in the **milk** according to the instructions on the gelatin package. Let it sit until it softens properly.
Step 2
Using a microwave, melt the **dark** and **milk chocolate** in short bursts until it becomes liquid. Ensure the temperature reaches about **50°C (122°F)**.
Step 3
Gently heat the gelatin mixture in the microwave until the gelatin fully dissolves. Be careful not to let it **boil**, as that can affect the texture.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the **melted chocolate**, dissolved **gelatin**, and **inverted syrup**. Mix until well incorporated.
Step 5
Using an immersion blender, **blend** the chocolate mixture until it is completely smooth and uniform in texture.
Step 6
Carefully fill your molds with the chocolate mixture, leaving a little space at the top. Place the **nut shells** on top of the chocolate mass.
Step 7
Put the filled molds in the freezer for about **30 minutes**. Once set, gently remove them from the molds and prepare to fill them.
Step 8
In a skillet, toast the **kataifi pastry** in butter until it turns a golden brown and becomes crispy. Allow it to cool before proceeding.
Step 9
Once cooled, add the remaining filling ingredients including **melted white chocolate**, **pistachio paste**, **rose water**, **cinnamon**, and a ** pinch of salt**. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
Step 10
Carefully fill the chocolate shells with the **Dubai filling** mixture. Ensure that they are filled generously for the best flavor experience.
Step 11

Faq
- What if my chocolate doesn't melt smoothly?
If your chocolate has clumped or isn't melting well, try adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil to help it along. Also, ensure you're using short bursts in the microwave and stirring in between.
- How do I know when the shells are ready to come out of the molds?
Once the chocolate is fully set and has a matte finish, it's time to remove them from the molds. If they feel cool to touch, they're usually ready!
- Can I use other fillings besides the "Dubai chocolate"?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative. You can use fruit purees, custards, or even mousse for a delightful surprise in the center.
- How can I ensure my shells are shiny?
To achieve that professional shine, temper your chocolate before pouring it into molds. This helps stabilize the chocolate and gives it a beautiful sheen.
- How can I make my chocolate shells thicker?
If you desire thicker shells, simply apply an additional layer of melted chocolate after the first layer has set. A second layer will give you that beautiful, sturdy shell.
- What is the best way to store these chocolate shells?
Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Avoid refrigeration as it can cause condensation, which may ruin the texture of your chocolate.
