Tips
- The thicker the pistachio layer, the better the dessert is.
- Serving it on a plate makes it look extra pretty.
- You can dig right in or slice and plate it up if you're impatient.
- It is advisable to use a bigger plate than the one used in the video for mixing the pistachio layer.
- Don't be stingy with the pistachio cream as you want the pistachio layer to be super moist.
- Decorating with piped pistachio cream is completely optional but makes the dessert extra pretty.
- Make sure to soak the cake with milk while it is still hot.
- The chocolate layer is naturally sweetened with stevia and lower in calories than other chocolate bars, as mentioned by the creator of the video, and is from Well Naturally, as seen on the package.
- This dessert is quicker than the original version and is reduced in sugar and lower in carbs.
- The recipe was inspired by B.Laben, an Egyptian brand.
