Equipment

  • Silicone chocolate mold or ice cube tray
  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons melted ghee or butter
  • 1 matzah
  • ½ cup raw shelled pistachios
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ teaspoon coarse salt
  • ¾ cup 72% dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the matzah on a baking sheet and brush with ghee. Toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, process the pistachios with maple syrup and salt until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  • Let the matzah cool, then break it into small pieces and add to the food processor. Pulse a few times until the mixture is sandy but still has some texture.
  • Combine the chocolate chips and remaining ghee in a small heatproof bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  • Spoon the melted chocolate into each mold cavity, filling halfway. Add a ¼-½ teaspoon (depending on the size of your mold) pistachio-matzah filling, pressing it down gently. Cover with the remaining chocolate and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  • Once hardened, remove from the mold and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
