Step-by-Step Instructions for Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cup
  1. Prepare kataifi by shredding into smaller pieces. Melt butter in a medium pan, add kataifi, sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then cool slightly.
  2. While warm, stir in tahini and pistachio butter until kataifi is well coated. Allow to cool for handling.
  3. Wash and halve fresh strawberries, then set aside in a bowl.
  4. Layer the dessert in cups with kataifi mixture, strawberries, and a drizzle of melted chocolate. Repeat layers, finishing with chocolate.
  5. Garnish with crushed pistachios or edible gold flakes. Let sit for 10-15 minutes to meld flavors or chill for 30 minutes.
