Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Bark (Print)

Creamy chocolate layers crowned with strawberries, pistachios, and rose petals deliver an exquisite, no-bake delight.

# Ingredients:

→ Chocolate

01 - 7 oz dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), chopped
02 - 7 oz white chocolate, chopped

→ Toppings

03 - 7 oz fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
04 - 1.75 oz pistachios, roughly chopped
05 - 2 tablespoons dried edible rose petals
06 - 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberries, optional
07 - 1 tablespoon edible gold leaf, optional

# Directions:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water using a double boiler method, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring frequently between intervals.
03 - Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread evenly into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
04 - Melt the white chocolate using the same method as the dark chocolate. Drizzle or dollop the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate base. Use a skewer or toothpick to swirl the chocolates together, creating a marbled effect.
05 - Evenly scatter the sliced strawberries over the chocolate while the mixture is still soft.
06 - Sprinkle the chopped pistachios, rose petals, and freeze-dried strawberries over the chocolate. If desired, gently apply edible gold leaf for a luxurious finish.
07 - Refrigerate the tray for 45 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
08 - Once set, break or cut the bark into shards of desired size. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
