PEI Liquor Celebrate Winter 2026

Dubai Chocolate Croissants

Ingredients:

- 4 store-bought croissants (or homemade if you have extra time) - 3 tbsp of simple syrup - 100 grams kataifi pastry cut into small 1 cm pieces

- 100 ml Pistachio cream - 75 grams milk chocolate - 75 grams of dark chocolate - 3 tbsp chopped pistachios for garnish

Directions: Place the shredded kataifi pastry to a small baking pan lined with non-stick baking paper and set your air fryer to 350F for 13 minutes. Mix the pastry halfway through the baking time (6 minutes) for an even crisp on all sides. Mix the toasted kataifi pastry with the pistachio cream until well combined. Slice the croissants in half lengthways and brush the insides with the simple syrup. Divide the kataifi/pistachio cream filling into 4 parts and spread it on the bottom half of each croissant. Place the top of the croissant back on.

Place the croissants in the Air Fryer and bake at 350F for 5 minutes. Once baked remove the croissants from the tray and allow to cool.

Melt chocolate in the microwave. Allow the chocolate to cool slightly and thicken. Add it to a piping bag, snip the end and pipe the chocolate over the croissants. Alternatively spread it over with a spatula. Sprinkle the chopped pistachios immediately. Serve warm.
