FAQ ❓

Where does this dessert come from?

After the success of the "Dubai" chocolate bars with their crunchy kadaif and pistachio filling, this dessert appeared in South Korea and is now beginning to travel to us too!
- At first glance, you might think it's a classic mochi pastry (and I thought so too, I was even going to make you these sweets with mochi pastry...) but the coating is actually made from melted marshmallow! If you're skeptical and want to make them with mochi dough, we've got an easy recipe right here.
- Of course, you can also coat the balls with melted chocolate!
You need to handle the dough while it's still warm, otherwise it will congeal and be impossible to shape. If it has hardened too much, simply reheat it. The coating recipe is fairly technical, but if you follow these tips you'll get the hang of it :-)
Yes, you can replace pistachio spread with pure pistachio paste and a little agave syrup or honey.
Kadaïf adds a light, crunchy texture that contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the pistachio filling.
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for about a week, but they're best fresh!
