Pistachio White Chocolate Bark (Printable)

Silky white chocolate combined with crunchy pistachios and jewel-like dried fruits in a simple, elegant form.

# Components:

→ Chocolate

01 - 14 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

# Directions:

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 intervals, stirring between each burst, 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 inches 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.
06 - Break or cut into pieces and transfer to an airtight container for storage.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen, but you'll have it done in minutes flat.
  • The contrast between creamy chocolate and crunchy nuts is absolutely addictive.
  • No baking skills required—just melting, spreading, and waiting, which means even kitchen beginners nail it.
02 -
  • White chocolate seizes instantly if even a speck of water gets into it, so make sure your bowl and spatula are completely dry before starting.
  • Pressing the toppings in too hard can crack the chocolate underneath—gentle is the name of the game here.
03 -
  • Invest in a good quality white chocolate from a chocolate supplier if you can—it makes a noticeable difference in richness and prevents that waxy aftertaste some cheaper brands have.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper; it's the difference between beautiful bark and chocolate stuck to your pan.
