Kataifi Pastry 1kg – Ambient Shredded Filo for Crunchy Toppings and Dessert Layers
What Is Kataifi Pastry and What Can You Use It For?
Kataifi pastry is made from fine, shredded filo dough and bakes into a light, crisp texture. This version comes in short-cut strands, making it ideal for sprinkling, layering, or baking into crispy bases. It brings a satisfying crunch without overpowering other ingredients, and works especially well in modern dessert builds, chocolate toppings, and bakery items.
The 1kg ambient format is perfect for commercial kitchens, dessert parlours, chocolatiers and more. Simply separate, shape or scatter the strands, then bake until golden. Once cooled, they hold their crispness and add visual appeal to sweet dishes.
Why Use Ambient Kataifi Pastry in a Commercial Kitchen?
This ambient-format kataifi pastry is a handy ingredient for busy commercial kitchens. No freezing required — store it at room temperature and use straight from the pack. It's great for saving freezer space and reducing prep time.
Important note on shelf life:
Kataifi pastry has a short shelf life. It lasts up to 3 months from the production date, but by the time it reaches you, there may only be 1–2 months remaining. This is normal for this type of product, so it's best to order with near-term use in mind.
Ideal for:
• High-turnover dessert menus
• Seasonal or trend-led product launches
• Small-batch luxury items
• Adding last-minute texture without extra prep
If you're using it for baked applications, spread it out thinly, brush lightly with butter or oil, and bake until golden. For layering or topping, let it cool fully before adding sauces or fillings to keep the crunch.
Perfect for Dubai Chocolate Bars, Dessert Cups & Toppings
This style of kataifi is especially popular in the current trend of Dubai-style chocolate bars and dessert cups. It bakes to a crisp finish and adds instant texture and contrast. Whether you're layering it into a clear dessert cup or scattering it over chocolate slabs, it gives a satisfying crunch and a high-impact visual finish.
You’ll often see it used in:
• Dubai Chocolate Bars – sprinkled on top or layered inside with nuts, sauce and crushed toppings
• Dessert Cups – used as a crunchy base or middle layer, combined with strawberries, pistachio sauce, and melted chocolate
• Luxury Toppings – paired with rose petals, crushed pistachios, Biscoff, or flavoured syrups for a premium look
Tip: Bake the kataifi in a thin layer until golden, then cool completely before adding to your dessert. This keeps it crunchy and prevents it from going soft too quickly when combined with sauces.
