Recipe

The kataifi pastry adds a unique texture that perfectly complements the rich and indulgent chocolate flavor.

Kataifi pastry, consisting of thin strands of dough, is a staple in Greek cuisine and lends itself to creating unique and extraordinary dishes.

You can find frozen Kataifi in most large supermarkets, but be sure to work with it swiftly to prevent it from drying out.

Keep it covered with a damp towel to maintain its moisture.

Picture biting into these heavenly nests, filled with a chocolate filling and adorned with vibrant mini eggs.

The nests made from Kataifi pastry are incredibly thin, crispy, and possess a touch of magic.

Simply divide the dough into strands, mix it with melted butter, and place it in a muffin tin.

Alternatively, you can use puff pastry by cutting it into strips and lining the muffin tin.

Another option is to create nests using whole squares of dough, as demonstrated in this recipe.

These Easy Chocolate Easter Nests are a stunning dessert that will captivate your taste buds with its simplicity.

These sweet nests, delicately woven from thin threads, are filled with a delightful combination of chocolate and nuts.

Top them off with fluffy whipped cream and chocolate eggs, and it’s as if the Easter Bunny himself delivered this treat to bring joy to the children!

This fabulous delicacy will undoubtedly add a touch of magic to your table on this joyous occasion.

how to cook Easy Chocolate Easter Nests?

STEP 1

Let’s get started on creating these mouthwatering Chocolate Easter Nests! First, we’ll preheat our oven to 200⁰C (400⁰F). Then we’ll make the filling. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, milk, and butter.

TIPS: If you’re not a fan of dark chocolate, here’s a little tip for you. Instead of using dark chocolate, go for the milk one. It will give your dessert a softer and sweeter touch.

STEP 2

Melt the ingredients together over a pan of simmering water, stirring constantly until smooth.

TIPS: To properly create a water bath (a pan of simmering water), place the bowl on a saucepan with gently simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water.

TIPS: Wondering how to melt chocolate, milk and butter together? You have two options: either use a water bath (a pan of simmering water) or pop it in the microwave. Both methods work like a charm, so go with whichever one suits your fancy.

STEP 3

Let it cool slightly, then pour the chocolate mixture over the chopped walnuts.

TIPS: Don’t limit yourself to just chocolate and walnuts for the filling. Get creative and experiment with your favorite jam, raisins, or nuts. They can add a delightful twist to this recipe.

STEP 4

Next, it’s time to work on the dough. Thaw the Kataifi pastry according to the package instructions. Separate the strands of dough on your working surface.

TIPS: When working with the Kataifi pastry, keep in mind that it is incredibly thin and tends to dry out quickly. This can make it more challenging to handle and may cause it to break. To avoid this, simply cover the Kataifi pastry strands with a damp towel to keep them moist and pliable.

TIPS: If you don’t have the Kataifi pastry on hand, don’t worry! You can easily substitute it with puff pastry. Just cut it into strands using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.

STEP 5

Carefully transfer these separated strands of the Kataifi pastry to a large bowl.

STEP 6

Drizzle these dough strands with melted butter. Mix carefully but well.

TIPS: Melt your butter either on the stove or in the microwave – whichever is more convenient for you.

STEP 7

Grease two 6-piece muffin tins with butter.

STEP 8

Place some Kataifi strands in each muffin cup.

STEP 9

Now press the dough strands into the cups with a glass to form nests.

STEP 10

Bake in a preheated oven at 200⁰C (400⁰F) for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

Now for the fun part – assembly! Fill the cooled nests halfway with the chocolate and nut filling.

STEP 13

Pop them in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to set.

STEP 14

Whip some chilled cream for decoration of your dessert.

TIPS: For successful cream whipping, make sure it is chilled and has a high fat content of at least 33%.

STEP 15

To finish off these delectable treats, top the nests with whipped cream.

STEP 16

Decorate them with chocolate eggs for a festive touch. Or you can choose to decorate them with some fondant flowers.
