1 week ago DIY Dubai chocolate: Ravneet Gill’s recipe for crunchy pistachio chocolate

Our baking columnist’s take on the viral bar is made with vermicelli pastry, dark chocolate and white chocolate pistachio cream. It’s simple. Just chill!This is my take on the viral sensation originally created by Dubai-based chocolatier Sarah Hamouda, founder of Fix Dessert Chocolatier.
