Viral Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Bark (Printable Version)

No-bake chocolate layers topped with strawberries, pistachios, and rose petals for a stunning dessert.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate

01 - 7 oz dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa), chopped
02 - 7 oz white chocolate, chopped

→ Toppings

03 - 7 oz fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
04 - 1.75 oz pistachios, roughly chopped
05 - 2 tablespoons dried edible rose petals
06 - 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberries, optional
07 - 1 tablespoon edible gold leaf, optional

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
02 - Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water using a double boiler method, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently between bursts
03 - Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread evenly into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick
04 - Melt the white chocolate using the same method. Drizzle or dollop the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate base. Use a skewer or toothpick to swirl the chocolates together for a marbled pattern
05 - Evenly scatter the sliced strawberries over the chocolate while the base is still soft
06 - Sprinkle the chopped pistachios, rose petals, and freeze-dried strawberries across the surface. If desired, gently apply edible gold leaf for a luxurious presentation
07 - Refrigerate the tray for 45 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and hardened
08 - Once fully set, break or cut the bark into irregular shards. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days
