No-bake chocolate dessert with layers of dark and white chocolate, topped with strawberries and pistachios.

# What You Need:

→ Chocolate

01 - 7 oz dark chocolate, 60% cocoa or higher, chopped
02 - 7 oz white chocolate, chopped

→ Toppings

03 - 7 oz fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread evenly into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
04 - Melt the white chocolate using the same method. Drizzle or dollop the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate base. Use a skewer or toothpick to swirl the chocolates together for a marbled pattern.
05 - Evenly scatter the sliced strawberries over the chocolate while the surface remains soft.
06 - Sprinkle the chopped pistachios, rose petals, and freeze-dried strawberries over the chocolate. If desired, gently apply edible gold leaf for a luxurious finish.
07 - Refrigerate the tray for 45 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm to the touch.
