Pistachio White Chocolate Bark (Printable)

Silky white chocolate topped with pistachios and dried fruits for an elegant, easy-to-make treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate

01 - 14.1 oz high-quality white chocolate, chopped

→ Nuts

02 - 2.8 oz shelled pistachios, roughly chopped

→ Dried Fruit

03 - 2.1 oz dried cranberries, chopped
04 - 1.4 oz dried apricots, chopped

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place the chopped white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt gently over a pan of barely simmering water using a double boiler method, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval, until completely melted.
03 - Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into a rectangle approximately 0.4 inch thick.
04 - Immediately sprinkle the chopped pistachios, cranberries, and apricots evenly over the chocolate. Gently press them into the surface with the spatula to ensure proper adhesion.
05 - Allow to set at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, until completely firm and set.
06 - Break or cut into pieces using a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen when you really just melted chocolate and scattered beautiful things on top.
  • The contrast between silky chocolate and crunchy pistachios is genuinely addictive, no fancy techniques needed.
  • It photographs so beautifully that people assume it came from a bakery, making it perfect for last-minute gifts.
02 -
  • Don't walk away during the melting step, especially with white chocolate, since it can go from silky to burnt tasting in seconds if you're not watching.
  • If your chocolate hardens before you finish spreading it, pop it back over the heat or microwave it for just 10 seconds to soften it again.
03 -
  • Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped dry between cuts to slice cleanly through set chocolate without shattering it.
  • Make a double batch and freeze half in an airtight container, where it keeps perfectly for up to three months, turning a small effort into future moments of joy.
