Prepare the Kataifi: - Heat ghee in a frying pan over medium heat. - Add the shredded phyllo and fry until golden and crispy for about 8-10 mins. Use a slotted spoon to remove and drain on a paper towel. 2. Make the strawberry puree: - Place the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor or blender. - Blend until smooth. - Pour the strawberry puree into a saucepan. - Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the puree thickens to your desired consistency. - Let the puree cool before using it in your recipes. - Store any leftover puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. 3. Make the Strawberry Cream Cheese Filling: - In a mixing bowl, blend the cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry puree (or jam), and vanilla paste until smooth. 4. Combine Filling with Kataifi: - Add the fried kataifi to the strawberry cream cheese mixture and mix until well combined. 5. Prepare Chocolate Molds: - If desired, drizzle a light layer of melted chocolate into the molds and let set in the fridge for about 8 minutes. - Add more melted chocolate to the mold, allowing any excess to drip off, then put it back in the fridge for about 10 minutes or until it sets. - Fill each mold with a layer of the strawberry cream cheese kataifi mixture. - Add a thin layer of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese filling. - Cover the filling and jam completely with more melted chocolate. - Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until hard. 6. Final Assembly: - Once set, pop out the bars from the mold and enjoy!
