These Dubai chocolate brownies combine rich Ghirardelli triple chocolate brownie mix with buttery, crispy kataifi, a luscious layer of pistachio cream, and a silky milk chocolate topping for a decadent Middle Eastern–inspired dessert.
Preheat the oven to 365 degrees and lightly grease a 9 X 13 casserole dish.
In a large mixing bowl combine the brownie mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Pour into the casserole dish and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes depending on how well done you like your brownies.
Let brownies cool at least 1 hour.
Melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add the Katifi and toast until golden brown.
Turn off the heat and mix in the pistachio spread. Pour over the brownies and spread to cover them completely.
Using a microwave safe dish begin melting the chocolate. Cook for 1 minute, stir, and then cook 15-20 seconds at a time until smooth.
Pour chocolate over the brownies and use a spoon to spread it in a nice even layer.
Place 1 tablespoon of pistachio spread in a small bowl. Heat 30 seconds, stir, and drizzle over the brownies. To make a pretty drizzle put it in a small ziplock bag, cut the tip, and then drizzle. Use a butter knife to swirl into the batter to create the design seen in my images.
Let the chocolate set for at least 1 hour. Slice into 24 pieces and enjoy!
Notes
Don’t skip cooling the brownies before adding toppings.
Work quickly when spreading melted chocolate to get a smooth layer.
Toast katifi until golden, not burnt—it cooks fast.
