Has anyone made? I getting ready to give it a go and would love some thoughts, tips and insights.

Thanks!

I have not, but I’ve seen this other thread, and just added a link to a NYT article and recipe.

Have any of you tried it? I know it’s a relatively recent trend, and our local patisserie apparently decided to make their own. I wanted to surprise my PIC with a special treat & knew I had to get this, given that both of us are major pistachio heads [F3E977A1-085D-419E-9CE0-3360518F36DA_1_201_a] I have not had a taste yet (saving for after dinner), but please do me a favor and guess how much this was

Thanks so much! I usually hang out in baking threads. We saw it in NYC $20 a bar. Assembly is pretty straight forward but the ingredients take a little sourcing…kadaifi and pistachio paste. Got the phyllo and will make the paste but thought I’d gather as much intel as possible before diving in.

I don’t know where you live, but a good Italian specialties store should carry pistachio paste. Kadaifi might be available frozen at ME places.

Good luck! Please share your results if you end up making it

I got the kadaifi easily here in the Boston area at a local Greek bakery/shop. Pistachio paste is pretty straight forward so I’ll make my own. Today may be the day!

thanks for the encouragement.

Any time! Just make sure to send us all a taste

I will happily volunteer as a quality control ‘expert.’

Once I decided on the pistachio filling recipe, it was really just about assembly. Tasty, fun project but I’m glad I only paid $4 for a silicone mold on Amazon because it won’t be a regular in the rotation simply because I am rubbish at chocolate work. I’ll continue to get my pistachio and chocolate via my baked goods instead. Love them both.
