How long does each step take when cooling Dubai chocolate?
After pouring the base chocolate layer: refrigerate 3-5 minutes until just set but not fully hardened (so the filling adheres). After adding pistachio filling: no refrigeration needed, proceed to sealing layer. After the final chocolate seal: refrigerate 15-20 minutes for a full set, or leave at cool room temperature for 45-60 minutes. Rushing any cooling step risks uneven setting, air gaps, or a filling that slides when the mold is inverted.
