Ingredients

Cheese Filling

  • 250 g Cream Cheese room temperature
  • 200 ml Heavy Cream
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Pistachio Kunafa

  • 250 g Kataifi
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 1 1/2 cup Pistachio Cream
  • 50 g White Chocolate (for melting)

Chocolate Ganache

  • 2/3 cup Milk Chocolate
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Pistachio Ganache

  • 50 g White Chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Pistachio Cream
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheese Filling: Mix the cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract together and whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Pour into a mold and freeze for 3 hours until firm.
  2. Toast Kataifi: Chop the kataifi dough and toast it in a pan with unsalted butter over medium heat until it becomes crispy and golden brown. Transfer to a mixing bowl to cool.
  3. Mix Pistachio Kataifi: Melt the white chocolate and pour it over the toasted kataifi. Add the pistachio cream and mix thoroughly to combine.
  4. Make Chocolate Ganache: Heat heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until bubbles appear at the edges. Remove from heat, add the milk chocolate, and let it sit for 3 minutes until melted. Stir until smooth and let it cool.
  5. Make Pistachio Ganache: Similarly, heat heavy cream in a saucepan until bubbles form at the edges. Remove from heat, add white chocolate and pistachio cream, let it sit until the chocolate melts, then stir until smooth.
  6. Assemble Cheese Bombs: Line four round molds with mica plastic sheets. Place half of the pistachio kataifi mixture into each mold and press down with a spoon to form a base. Remove the cheese filling from the freezer and place onto the kataifi base in each mold.
  7. Cover Cheese Filling: Add the remaining pistachio kataifi mixture on top and press firmly with a spoon until the cheese filling is completely enclosed. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
  8. Finish and Serve: Remove the molds and mica plastic carefully. Pour the prepared chocolate and pistachio ganache over each cheese bomb before serving. Enjoy your luxurious pistachio cheese bomb!

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.
  • Toast the kataifi carefully to avoid burning; it should be golden and crispy.
  • The cheese filling benefits from freezing to hold its shape when assembling.
  • Use good quality pistachio cream and chocolates for the best flavor.
  • Be gentle when removing the mica molds to keep the cheese bombs intact.
  • Refrigerate the finished bombs if not serving immediately to maintain freshness.
