Ingredient Highlights



  • Kadaif Noodle Crust: A crispy, golden base that adds a delicate, buttery crunch.
  • Pistachio Ganache: A smooth and nutty layer of white chocolate blended with pistachio paste for subtle sweetness.
  • Milk Chocolate Ganache: A rich, creamy topping that brings the perfect chocolatey contrast.
  • Crushed Pistachios: Adds a final nutty crunch and visual appeal.

Pro Tips for the Best Chocolate Pie

  • Crisp the kadaif properly: Bake until golden brown to prevent a soggy crust.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The richness of the ganache depends on the quality of your chocolate.
  • Let each layer set: Chilling between layers ensures clean, distinct flavors and textures.
  • Whisk the leftover ganache for garnish: A soft, airy whipped ganache adds an extra touch of indulgence.

Frequently Asked Questions



Can I use phyllo dough instead of kadaif?

Yes! Layer buttered, shredded phyllo for a similar crisp texture.

How far in advance can I make this pie?

It can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.

Can I substitute the pistachio paste?

Almond paste or hazelnut spread can work, but pistachio gives the most authentic flavor.

step 1
Prepare the Crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
step 2
In a medium bowl, separate the Kadayif (2/3 cup) by pulling the strands apart.
step 3
Sprinkle the Granulated Sugar (4 Tbsp) over the noodles and toss to combine. Drizzle the melted Unsalted Butter (4 Tbsp) into the mixture and toss to coat completely.
step 4
Press the mixture into a 9-inch pie dish to form a crust.
step 5
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
step 6
Make the Pistachio Ganache: Place the White Chocolate (2/3 cup) and Pistachio Spread (2 Tbsp) in a medium bowl.
step 7
In a small pot, heat the Heavy Cream (4 Tbsp) over medium heat until it reaches a low simmer.
step 8
Remove from heat and pour over the white chocolate-pistachio mixture. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth and fully combined.
step 9
Pour the pistachio ganache over the cooled kadaif crust, spreading evenly with a spatula.
step 10
Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow it to set slightly.
step 11
Make the Milk Chocolate Ganache: Heat the Heavy Cream (1 cup) over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.
step 12
Pour the hot cream over the Milk Chocolate (2 cups) and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir with a rubber spatula until smooth.
step 13
Pour the milk chocolate ganache over the pistachio layer, spreading it evenly. You will have about ½ cup of ganache leftover. Reserve in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
step 14
Return the pie to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
step 15
To Serve: Place the remaining ganache in a large mixing bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Sprinkle the crushed Unsalted Pistachios (1 Tbsp) over the pie and slice. Dollop each slice with the whipped ganache.
