Instructions

Step 1: Make Pistachio Cream

  3. Let cool and fold into the pistachio cream.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate

  2. (Optional) Melt white chocolate separately for design drizzle.

Step 4: Mold Chocolate Shells

  1. Spoon 2 tbsp of melted chocolate into each silicone mold cavity.

  2. Use a brush or back of a spoon to coat the bottom and sides evenly.

  3. Chill for 5–10 mins until firm.

Step 5: Fill with Pistachio Mixture

  1. Add 1–1.5 tbsp of pistachio filling into each mold.

  2. Press down gently to level the surface.

Step 6: Seal the Bars

  1. Pour remaining melted chocolate over the top to fully cover the filling.

  2. Smooth out the surface.

  3. Chill in the fridge for 20 mins (or freezer for 10) until fully set.

Step 7: Enjoy!

  1. Carefully remove bars from the molds.

  2. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer shelf life.


Optional Upgrade: Add Keto Collagen (Unflavoured) to the filling to support hair, skin, nails & gut health.
