Ingredients

for 3 bars

Kataifi

  • 2 cups kataifi (shredded phyllo dough), cut into small pieces
  • 3 tablespoons ghee, or clarified butter, for frying

Strawberry Puree and Jam

  • 2 cups strawberry, hulled and halved
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup strawberry jam, additional to the puree, for layering

Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • ½ cup strawberry puree
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Chocolate Coating

  • 3 cups white chocolate, melted

Preparation

  1. Prepare the Kataifi: Heat ghee in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the shredded phyllo and fry until golden and crispy for about 8-10 mins. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on a paper towel.
  2. Make the strawberry puree: Place the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth.
  3. Pour the strawberry puree into a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the puree thickens to your desired consistency.
  4. Let the puree cool before using it in your recipes. Store any leftover puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  5. Make the Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry puree (or jam), and vanilla paste until smooth.
  6. Add the fried kataifi to the strawberry cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined.
  7. Prepare Chocolate Molds: If desired, drizzle a light layer of melted chocolate into the molds and let set in the fridge for about 8 minutes. Add more melted chocolate to the mold, allowing any excess to drip off, then put it back in the fridge for about 10 minutes or until it sets.
  8. Fill each mold with a layer of the strawberry cream cheese kataifi mixture. Add a thin layer of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese filling.
  9. Cover the filling and jam completely with more melted chocolate.Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until hard.
  10. Once set, pop out the bars from the mold.
  11. Enjoy!
