Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 Kings Hawaiian Sweet Rolls (1 pack)
- 3 cups kataifi (100g)
- 100g chocolate (semi-sweet or preferred type)
- 3/4 cup pistachio cream (210g)
Liquid and Fat Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (56g)
- 100g heavy cream (1/3 cup + 1 tablespoon)
- 24 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon oil
Finishing and Seasoning Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Shred kataifi pastry into small, manageable fragments within a spacious cooking vessel, ensuring even texture and consistent piece size.
- Incorporate melted butter and toast the kataifi over moderate heat, stirring meticulously to achieve an even golden-brown crispness, approximately 10 minutes.
- Extract pan from heat source and fold in pistachio cream and a delicate salt sprinkle, creating a harmonious flavor profile.
- Allow the mixture to cool and stabilize for 5-10 minutes before further preparation.
- Create a silky chocolate glaze by combining chocolate, cream, and oil in a microwave-safe container.
- Heat in brief 20-second intervals, stirring between each session until achieving a glossy, smooth consistency.
- Delicately slice a subtle opening along the side of each donut roll using a precision knife.
- Gently expand the incision into a pocket using fingertips, creating space for filling.
- Carefully load each roll with the prepared crispy pistachio knafeh mixture using a spoon.
- Immerse each stuffed roll into warm chocolate glaze, allowing excess to elegantly cascade off.
- Position rolls on a wire rack, permitting the glaze to set for 5-10 minutes.
- Craft a luxurious cream drizzle by blending powdered sugar with heavy cream, gradually incorporating liquid until achieving a smooth, pourable consistency.
- Transfer the cream to a piping apparatus, create a minute opening, and gracefully stream over the glazed donut rolls.
- Permit the final layer to solidify for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Kataifi Texture Matters: Break strands into smaller, uniform pieces for even crispiness and consistent golden-brown color.
- Heat Control is Key: Stir continuously during toasting to prevent burning and ensure perfect golden crunch.
- Cooling Technique: Allow pistachio knafeh filling to cool slightly before stuffing to maintain structural integrity of donut rolls.
- Chocolate Melting Hack: Use short microwave intervals and gentle stirring to prevent chocolate from seizing or burning.
- Filling Precision: Create small, careful pockets to maximize filling without tearing delicate kataifi exterior.
- Drizzle Consistency: Adjust powdered sugar glaze by adding cream gradually for smooth, controllable drizzling.
- Dietary Adaptations: Swap dairy cream with coconut cream for vegan version; use gluten-free kataifi for celiac-friendly option.
- Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare components separately and assemble just before serving to maintain optimal texture and freshness.
