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.

I got some kadaifi at the Middle East Market, and some Lindt 70% chocolate. I warmed the chocolate until it was just soft, then spread some on the overturned kadaifi. But the chocolate melted into the kadaifi, all the way through, without just coating it. It was a mess, certainly not intended, but still acceptable. Kind of.
