Description
A no-bake treat combining creamy white chocolate, tart Picota cherries, and crunchy pistachios for a beautiful and flavorful dessert bar.
Ingredients
Scale
- 400 grams White Chocolate: Acts as the creamy, sweet base that binds the entire bar together.
- 1 cup Picota Cherries: Halved and pitted, adding juicy, tart bursts in every bite.
- 3/4 cup Shelled Pistachios: Roasted and roughly chopped to give a rich, crunchy contrast.
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall sweetness and depth of flavor.
- Pinch of Sea Salt: Balances the sweetness and elevates the other flavors.
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, allowing extra overhang for easy lifting.
- Combine Ingredients: Gently melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in short intervals. Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt, then fold in cherries and pistachios.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan, spreading evenly with a spatula.
- Assemble the Dish: Top with extra cherries and pistachios for decoration and gently press them into the surface.
- Cook to Perfection: Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely set.
- Finishing Touches: Remove from the pan using the parchment overhang and place on a cutting board.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice into bars or squares and enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure cherries are patted dry to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Use roasted pistachios for more flavor depth.
- Warm your knife before slicing for clean cuts.
- Bars can be frozen and thawed overnight in the fridge.
