Dubai Pistachio Mousse
This elegant Dubai-style pistachio mousse uses just pistachios, cooked rice, and white chocolate. Topped with dark chocolate and chopped pistachios.
If you love the iconic Dubai Chocolate bar, you’ll fall hard for this luscious, spoonable version. With just three base ingredients; pistachios, cooked rice, and chocolate, (plus a little cheat, with hot water, salt and vanilla of course!) This mousse captures the same rich, nutty sweetness in an ultra-creamy, a super easy recipe. It’s blitzed silky smooth in a Thermomix or other high-powered blender, then finished with chopped pistachios and drizzles of dark chocolate for that signature look. It’s everything you love about the bar, but in dessert bowl form, indulgent, easy, and utterly unforgettable.
I have recommended using the Thermomix Low Carb Cooked Rice as this makes it even more delicious, cos you have cut the carbs by 70%! If you haven't looked at that whole thing yet, it is time to do a deep dive in ways to still eat rice with zero guilt and yes, 70% less carbs! So easy...just takes a little forethought. Tastes the same. Looks the same. Acts the same. Rice.
So this dessert just leveled up to be even better, am I right?
