Description
This Pistachio Chocolate Bar is an irresistible combination of creamy chocolate and nutty pistachios, featuring a silky smooth chocolate shell wrapped around a rich pistachio paste center. It’s easy to make and perfect for gifting, sharing, or indulging on your own.
Ingredients
200g dark or milk chocolate, finely chopped
100g shelled unsalted pistachios
2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon neutral oil (coconut or grapeseed)
1 pinch sea salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
2 tablespoons crushed pistachios for garnish
Instructions
1. In a food processor, blend pistachios until a paste forms, scraping the sides as needed.
2. Add maple syrup, oil, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
3. Melt two-thirds of the chocolate in a double boiler or heatproof bowl over simmering water.
4. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining third of chocolate to temper it.
5. Spoon a layer of melted chocolate into silicone molds, about 1/3 full.
6. Use a spatula to push chocolate up the sides, forming a shell. Chill until set.
7. Add a layer of pistachio paste into each mold cavity and press to flatten.
8. Cover with remaining melted chocolate, smoothing the surface.
9. Tap the mold gently to remove air bubbles. Chill until fully set.
10. Unmold and garnish with crushed pistachios. Serve or store.
