Equipment
- 9X9 Square tin
- Parchment paper
- mixing bowl
- Hand-held electric whisk
Ingredients
- 500 g of Oreo
- 170 g butter melted
- 180 g kataifi
- 220 g pistachio cream
- 500 ml whipped cream
- 150 ml condensed milk
- 120 g pistachio cream
- 1 teaspoon of almond extract
Instructions
- Melt butter in a pan over low heat, then add kataifi and cook, stirring, for 5–7 minutes over low to medium heat until golden and crisp.
- Remove from heat and stir in pistachio cream until fully coated. Set aside to cool.
- Line a 9x9-inch square tin with parchment paper. Blitz Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
- Add crumbs to a bowl and mix in melted butter. Press half of the mixture firmly into the base of the lined tin to form an even layer.
- In a bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Add condensed milk, almond extract and whisk until smooth.
- Stir in pistachio cream and whisk again until well combined. Pour the creamy filling over the Oreo base and smooth out evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 2 hours until partially set.
- Remove from the freezer and discard the plastic wrap. Gently spread the cooled kataifi-pistachio layer over the frozen filling.
- Top with the remaining Oreo crumb mixture and press gently into place. Cover again and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight.
- Once fully set, remove the plastic wrap and slice the bars evenly.
- Serve chilled and enjoy every luscious bite!
Notes
- Oreo Substitutes: Swap them out for chocolate-flavored cookies, graham crackers, or digestive biscuits.
- Kanafi Tip: Be sure to let the cooked kataifi cool completely before layering it over the pistachio ice cream to maintain texture and prevent melting.
- Freezing for Structure: Chill the Oreo and pistachio base for at least 2 hours before adding the kataifi and crumb layers. This ensures a firm foundation and keeps your toppings from sinking.
