Dubai chewy cookies, the viral recipe for mochis filled with pistachio and kadaïf
Did you think the "Dubai chocolate" trend had run its course? Think again... It's back in an even more indulgent form with these irresistible chewy cookies ;) Halfway between an ultra-soft cookie and a chewy mochi, these little marvels hide a generous filling of pistachio and crunchy kadaïf at their heart. On the outside, a soft, chocolatey coating... on the inside, a contrast of textures that makes all the difference. Created by chef Kim Na-ra, these cookies quickly went viral, drawing long queues and selling out every day. And it's easy to see why: each bite is an explosion of sweetness, crunch and indulgence. The good news is that you don't have to travel halfway around the world to try them! This homemade version makes it easy to try the trend at home. A word of advice: make more than you think you'll need... they disappear in no time :)
Ingredients
Pistachio Filling:
Cocoa Coating:
Materials
- pan
- gloves
- spatula
- parchment paper
Preparation
Cut the kadaïf into small pieces.
Melt butter in a frying pan and brown the kadaïf over medium heat for a few minutes. Set aside when golden brown.
Add the pistachio spread and mix well.
Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into a ball. Repeat, then place all the balls on a baking sheet (or plate) lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, prepare the coating.
Melt some butter in a frying pan and add the marshmallows.
When melted, add the cocoa and milk powder and mix well.
Pour the still-warm dough onto baking paper (it's best to oil it a little).
Divide the dough into 6 or 7 pieces (depending on how many balls of filling you've formed beforehand).
Stretch the dough well with gloved hands and place a pistachio ball in the center. Wrap the coating around the filling. *You can make the coating thicker or thinner to suit your taste!
Roll in cocoa powder.
All set!
