🛒 Ingredients

✓ 2 sheets phyllo pastry (14g each)
✓ 2.5 tbsp coconut oil, melted
✓ 1/4 tsp sea salt
✓ 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
✓ 2 tbsp crushed raw pistachios
✓ 1 tbsp edible 24K gold leaf (optional)
✓ 140g dark chocolate 85% cocoa, chopped
✓ 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (2% fat)
✓ 1/3 cup Medjool date paste (or blended dates)
✓ 2 tbsp low-fat milk (or almond milk)
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
✓ Pinch of sea salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Date Cream: Blend 5 pitted Medjool dates with 2 tbsp warm water until silky paste forms. Fold into Greek yogurt with vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Divide into 2 bowls—set aside.

2. Crisp the Phyllo: Brush each phyllo sheet lightly with melted coconut oil. Sprinkle with cardamom and sea salt. Cut into 2-inch squares.

3. Toast Phyllo Pieces: Arrange on a lined baking tray. Bake at 180°C for 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy. Cool for 2 minutes—they'll continue crisping.

4. Melt the Chocolate: Place chopped 85% dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Warm milk gently and pour over chocolate. Let sit 1 minute, then whisk until smooth and glossy.

5. Assemble Base Layers: Spoon half the date-cream mixture into each serving bowl. Create a shallow well in the centre with the back of a spoon.

6. Add Warm Chocolate: Pour warm (not hot) melted chocolate into the well of each bowl. Watch it gently pool and slightly sink into the creamy base.

7. Crown with Texture: Top each bowl with crispy phyllo shards, crushed pistachios, and a light dusting of 24K gold leaf (if using) for that luxury Dubai feel.

8. Serve Immediately: Eat within 2–3 minutes while phyllo is still crispy and chocolate is warm. The contrast of temperatures and textures is essential.
