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.

Irish Love Islander Megan Forte Clarke 'easily charmed' as hopeful set for twist

Love Island's Irish beauty Megan Forte Clarke has said she is "easily charmed" as she makes her debut in the villa tonight. The reality TV show is back tonight, with 12 brand new singletons all looking to find 'The One'. The girls - Shakira, Meg, Alima, Sophie, Megan and Helena - enter the stunning Mallorcan Villa first and get to know one another. But it's dating that's on their mind and they quickly start talking about being excited to meet the boys and start shouting for boys to enter the Villa. They don't have to wait long as host Maya Jama arrives and takes them to the firepit for a chat. Getting straight to the point, Maya asks them what each of their types are with Shakira saying: "Tall, muscly, nice smile but for me it's all about personality. Witty, funny, charming." Helena laughs as she adds: "Personality always, my bar is low, I'm not fussy!" Meg teases that she wants: "Tanned skin, taller and naughty eyes." Sophie says: "I want someone that's a gentleman, not a man child." Megan says: "I'm easily charmed, which is the problem…" Alima says she's looking for: "A Prince Charming Disney Prince… with no facial hair." Maya then has a big announcement, which shocks the girls as she explains: "This year things are slightly different. You've told me what your type on paper is, but does that match your ideal man in reality? Come and join me by the pool." As the girls line up, Maya explains: "Girls, in front of you there are six love hearts and each boy has given me their dating profile which is written on each of these hearts - shall we have a look at what these boys have to offer?" On the boards the girls see descriptions for this year's boys: Ben, Dejon, Harry, Conor, Blu and Tommy. The girls have to decide who they'd like to couple up with based on these key stats with the boys' names, ages, jobs and a headline, such as "I like to play hard and work harder! I love to play, so I work very hard…", to help them decide who to pick. After discussing the profiles and trying to work out who might be right for them, Maya counts to three and they must run to a heart, with only one girl allowed to stand by each heart. With only seconds to make a decision, will they all get the boy they wanted? Or will the girls be left eager to swap. Now it's over to the boys. Decisions made, they enter the villa one-by-one to meet their match…will it be love at first write or were the girls too quick to judge their type? After the newly coupled-up Islanders spend a bit of time getting to know one another, later that evening, Maya makes a shock return to the villa with some huge news. Gathering everyone at the firepit, Maya reveals the day isn't over yet and someone new is already on their way. Suddenly, the series' first bombshell Toni makes a dramatic entrance into the villa. The Islanders are quick to realise she's come all the way from the US as Toni teasingly says: "Good evening UK! Surprise!" The Islanders can't believe there's an American bombshell and there's clearly some excitement amongst the boys… and some concerns for the girls. Maya then drops some more big news: not only has Toni just arrived all the way from the States, but she is also going to immediately steal one of the boys. Hearing the power is in her hands, Toni coyly replies: "Interesting…" And that's not all, Maya has more news for one Islander. The clock is ticking and their time in the villa could be over quicker than you can say señorita…

Conor McGregor involved in spat with Games of Thrones actor over Gaza aid boat

Conor McGregor has become involved in a social media spat with Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham over the seizure of an aid vessel bound for Gaza. The yacht, which includes activist Greta Thunberg among its 12-member crew, was intercepted by Israeli authorities in the early hours of Monday morning and is now en route to a port in Israel, officials have said. The vessel, named Madleen, is operated by the pro-Palestinian Freedom Flotilla Coalition and was aiming to deliver aid to Gaza and raise awareness of the worsening humanitarian crisis in the region. Madleen departed from Sicily a week ago, with Cunningham among those present at its launch. The Dublin actor has been a vocal critic of the Irish Government's response to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Arguing that the Irish Navy should protect the aid-carrying vessel, Cunningham said last week that these charity missions were doing the work governments had failed to do. Cunningham said: "They are doing the job that we are supposed to be doing, the people who are supposed to respect international law." "There should be a flotilla of Irish naval vessels standing up for our international law and treating international law with the respect it deserves, not this wonderful, disparate group of people who have got together to put their lives in danger because they're not being backed up. "There should be a European force circling that boat to ensure that they get there, because that is their legal responsibility." When news broke in the early hours of Monday morning that the flotilla had been intercepted by Israeli authorities, the 64-year-old voiced his anger on social media. Cunningham wrote: "The Freedom flotilla was attacked during the night. The ship was rammed, boarded and the 12 volunteers kidnapped. This is more reprehensible behaviour from the genocidal regime in Tel Aviv." In a reply to the actor's post, UFC fighter McGregor appeared to mock Cunningham for not making the journey himself. McGregor wrote: "I thought you were on this boat Liamo, what happened? You forgot your goggles? You get sea sick off the gargle? Bottler." Cunningham immediately shot back at McGregor, though, writing: "Didn't know you could read and write Conor. Thought you used your hands to tap out." The Freedom Flotilla Coalition said the activists on board Madleen were 'kidnapped by Israeli forces' while trying to deliver desperately needed aid to the famished territory. 'The ship was unlawfully boarded, its unarmed civilian crew abducted, and its life-saving cargo — including baby formula, food and medical supplies —confiscated,' it said in a statement.
