Prepare the Kataifi Filling

• Place molds in the fridge to set.

Coat the Molds with Chocolate

• Spoon melted chocolate into molds, ensuring full coverage inside.
• Let excess chocolate drip off while making sure sides are fully coated.
• Scrape off excess chocolate from the edges.
• Place in the fridge to set.

Assemble and Set the Chocolate

• Spoon kataifi-pistachio mixture into molds, spreading evenly with an angled spatula.
• Pour remaining melted chocolate over filling and smooth with a spatula.
• Use a chocolate scraper to clean edges for a professional finish.
• Allow chocolates to set completely in the fridge before unmolding.
