Molded and Filled Chocolates: Troubleshooting and Techniques
Jim D. replied to a topic in Pastry & Baking
On another forum someone posted that she had bought a Dubai bar (the filling with pistachio paste , tahini, kataifi) from Fix Dessert Chocolatier, the company in Dubai that originated the bar. She said that the Fix bar does not contain any chocolate, with the result that the pistachio taste is more... -
...white chocolate and the thoughts on pistachio paste vs butter. I found a couple middle eastern stores where I could buy kataifi - much cheaper than Amazon and close. I chopped the kataifi into pretty small pieces and toasted them in ghee. One of the stores had pistachio pa...

Thanks for pointing out that pistachio paste available on Amazon. I just noticed that my source, L'Epicérie, has it only on special order (I guess the price scared customers off--though it is a bit lower than the item on Amazon). I also make Dubai bonbons, although (as I have stated elsewhere) fi...

...I have a couple local middle eastern markets so I'll see if they have any kataifi there and maybe they'll have some Sicilian pistachio paste as well. If not, Amazon seems to sell a popular brand. Thanks for the suggestions for the California pistachio butter. I'm also looking to make bon bons,...

I purchased pistachio butter from Fiddyment Farms. It is simply ground pistachios , no sugar added. I put it in my melanger and added some ground up hard caramel to make pistachio praline paste , which (I think) adds a lot of flavor to the pistachios . But to cut the sweetness I also include plain p...

...I use pistachio praline paste plus plain pistachio paste (no sugar) to reach that goal.

...I had a jar of sweetened pistachio paste , it wasn't as smooth, and I think it's better added to buttercream than as the base for the bar. I've read some places people have made a gianduju for it, but that doesn't look like the texture I see in photos. Usually they look runny, and I haven't seen a r...

...I see some people online are using pistachio butter/ paste ( pistachios ground into a paste ) some are using pistachio cream (which appears to be a sweetened butter/ paste ). @RWood I see you’re buying pistachio paste . Is that pistachio paste just unsweetened ground pistachios ? Anyone using p...

...I used a 7oz jar of Italian pistachio paste that was the best of the three types I had. But, it was sweet, and after I stirred in 2 TBS of tahini, it was better. I can't say I really tasted tahini, but it seemed to help balance it. I had an open jar of Trader Joe's tahini.

She's the daughter of Rodney's friends who own a gelato ingredient supply company with products imported from Italy - they provided us with some lovely nut pastes (particularly Sicilian pistachio ) to play with. It was a delight to see Rodney interact with her. -

...The marinade is a paste of pistachio nuts (Trader Joe's was out of raw pistachios , so I used dry roasted), lemongrass, cilantro (lots of it), baby arugula, serrano chiles, peppercorns, salt lemon, and olive oil. This gave quite of a workout to my trusted and somewhat ancient Hamilton b... -

Was there a pistachio paste involved over the bottom of crust or just the top sprinkle. Like the combo. -
...Somewhere on eG I did a comparison of Sicilian and California (Fiddyment Farms) pistachio paste , and having them both on hand now has brought me to the same conclusion: Fiddyment Farms has a brighter, fresher, more pistachio -y taste, whereas the Sicilian (this brand is Corsiglia and is...

...@ pastrygirl ! I spent the day doing a few other nut varieties (pecans, almonds, pistachio ) in larger quantities and while there was still a bit of 'spitting', it ran normally (and cleaned the walls and floor while keeping an eye out:) @Jim D. - I did grind the hazelnuts beforehand, I think I just d...

...The California pistachio paste I often use is rather thick, certainly not fluid enough to pour. I just got some Italian pistachio paste , and it's the consistency of olive oil. Did you "pre-grind" the hazelnuts before putting them in the melanger?

I already had some pistachio paste (plain, no caramel), so simply ground some caramel with the paste . If I were to start with pistachios , I would toast them very slightly, just until they smell fragrant. I have used a Notter recipe for pistachio ganache, which I thought was OK but did not have suf...
