The TikToker said the chocolate mould was probably the most expensive purchase at €10.
Miriam begins frying the kataifi in butter in a pan.
Once fried, she adds a spoon of tahini and two large spoons of pistachio cream.
Miriam said: 'Then you just mix it all together. This is what the filling looks like.

'I think it looks pretty good. I'm going to melt the chocolate. I think if I do like a bar and a half it might be enough.
'I know dairy milk chocolate is a bit tricky to melt. So if you are doing it with dairy milk just be a little bit careful because it burns really easily.'
Once the chocolate was fully melted, Miriam put some pistachio nuts in the mould before adding the chocolate.

Love Island returned to TV screens on Monday night with Irish representation coming in the form of not one, but TWO, contestants. Megan Forte Clarke, 24, from Dublin and Conor Phillips, 25, from Limerick entered the villa as the 12th series of the hit reality dating show got underway. Conor Phillips is well-known in the Irish sporting world, having previously represented Ireland at U18 and U19 rugby union.

The 25-year-old has represented both Munster and Ireland at various levels and plays as a wing. Conor appears to be a music fan also, with the Limerick native attending the recent Forbidden Fruits Festival. More recently, Conor has been appearing as part of the Ireland 7s team, first getting a call up in 2021 for the World Series. Pic: Phamai Techaphan/REX/Shutterstock Conor represented Munster at a number of different levels including U18, U19 and U20. In 2021, he got a place in the Munster academy, but was released at the end of the 2022-2023 season. Internationally, Conor has represented Ireland at U18 and U19 level, and appeared in the squad for the 2019 Six Nations U20 Championships. He missed out on the World Rugby U20 Championships in 2019 due to injury, according to the IRFU. More recently, Conor has been appearing as part of the Ireland 7s team, first getting a call up in 2021 for the World Series. Speaking ahead of his arrival into the Love Island villa, Conor described himself as a 'bit of a sh** stirrer' adding that it was likely due to being in rugby teams with 'big personalities [and] macho guys.' As to what he is looking for in his ideal woman, the Limerick man's type on paper is dark eyes, ambitious, good craic and a go-getter. 'I don't mind a dominant woman,' he added, 'I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing.'
