Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Parfait
Time: 12 minutes
Serves: 1
Delicious and indulgent yet simple and healthy, our take on the viral Dubai Chocolate is a parfait with a perfect balance of textures and flavors. Layers of creamy yogurt, crunchy toasted kataifi, pistachio butter, rich dark chocolate, and of course juicy Driscoll’s Strawberries! Kataifi is made from thin stings of dough cooked on a rotating griddle. Look for it at your local Mediterranean grocer, or substitute with chopped shredded wheat cereal.
