You may have seen Dubai chocolate on social media, a confectionery product that has recently gained international popularity. Its unique combination of Middle Eastern flavors and modernity makes it unique. It includes traditional elements of Middle Eastern cuisine such as kadayif (or angel hair), a crispy phyllo dough, pistachio cream, and sometimes tahina sauce. These ingredients impart a crunchy texture. It can be found with milk or dark chocolate, which wraps a creamy filling.
It can be considered a luxury artisanal product: some manufacturers make the chocolate by hand, with curated decorations and numbered packaging, although the original Dubai chocolate recipe was developed by the “Fix Dessert Chocolatier” pastry shop in the United Arab Emirates in 2021.
