Indulge in the viral sensation of Dubai Chocolate Bonbons, featuring a rich pistachio filling and a decadent chocolate shell. A surprisingly simple yet elegant treat.
For the pistachio filling, pulse the shelled pistachios in a food processor until they form a coarse meal. Add the powdered sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Process until a thick paste forms.
Roll the pistachio paste into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes.
Melt the dark chocolate gently. You can use a double boiler or microwave it in short intervals, stirring frequently.
Dip each frozen pistachio ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Use a fork to lift it and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You can drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for decoration if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
Notes
These bonbons are best enjoyed chilled. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
