Date Bark with Pistachio Cream
Date Bark with Pistachio Cream, an incredibly indulgent no-bake treat made with only 5 ingredients. Inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate, my bark uses 2 kinds of chocolate for a decadent touch, medjool dates, homemade pistachio cream and chopped pistachios for some good crunch. Easy to make and utterly delicious, a massive hit with everyone.

Ingredients
- 150 g dark chocolate bar ( 1 cup)
- 120 g milk chocolate chips ( ½ cup)
- 1 cup pistachio cream
- 20 Medjool dates
- ¼ cup chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 100 degrees Celsius (210 Fahrenheit).
- Line a baking tray with non-stick paper, and place the dark chocolate bar in.
- Pop the tray in the oven for 8 minutes so the chocolate can melt.
- Add the chocolate chips to an oven-safe bowl, and pop it in the oven too so it can melt.
- Remove the tray and the bowl from the oven.
- Use a spatula to spread the chocolate bar thinly into a rectangle.
- Pit the dates, keeping the 2 halves together, and just flatten them to top the layer of chocolate.
- Spread the pistachio cream over, drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the cream, and top with chopped pistachios.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the bark can set.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Using non-stick paper is a must, otherwise it will be pretty impossible to remove the bark from the tray once set. But with the non-stick paper, the bark literally peels off it, so you can cut or break it into pieces.
- I didn't split the dates in half, once the pits were removed, I just flattened them slightly, it made the job of arranging them in a layer much quicker and easier.
