Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

• Begin by breaking the dark chocolate into small pieces.
• Use a double boiler to gently melt the chocolate, stirring continuously to ensure a smooth consistency.
• If you don’t have a double boiler, you can microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session.

Step 2: Mix in the Ingredients

• Add the condensed milk and butter to the melted chocolate.
• Stir in the saffron strands for a hint of exotic aroma.
• Mix until the ingredients are well combined and the texture is silky smooth.

Step 3: Incorporate the Extras

• Fold in the chopped dates for sweetness and texture.
• Pour the mixture into a tray or molds of your choice. Use silicone molds for easier release.

Step 4: Garnish and Chill

• Sprinkle crushed pistachios on top for an elegant finish.
• Refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until it sets completely.
