Dubai Chocolate Mochi

In a large bowl, combine glutinous rice flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and milk.

Whisk the mixture until smooth, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap.

Microwave for 2-3 minutes until the dough is completely cooked.

Wearing gloves, knead the hot dough until it becomes nice and stretchy.

Roughly chop the kataifi pastry.

Melt butter in a pan, add the chopped pastry, and toast until golden brown and crunchy.

In a separate bowl, combine tahini and pistachio spread.

Add the toasted pastry to the spread mixture and combine.

Scoop the filling onto a tray lined with parchment paper and let it chill to firm up.

Flatten a piece of the chocolate mochi dough in your hands.

Place a chilled ball of the pistachio kanafeh filling in the center and wrap the mochi dough around it, pinching to seal.

Roll the finished mochi in cocoa powder to coat.
