that breaks open to reveal a green pistachio filling and crunchy golden strands. Within a few months Dubai chocolate had gone round the world, and people were queuing for it in shops. So what is Dubai chocolate, why does it cost so much \u2014 and how can you make it at home for a fraction of the price?<\/p><\/div><\/header>\n<section class=\"cxh-spec\"><div class=\"w\"><div class=\"head\">\n<p class=\"lbl\">At a glance<\/p><\/div>\n<dl><div><dt>Origin<\/dt><dd>Dubai, 2021<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Filling<\/dt><dd class=s>pistachio, tahini, kataifi<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Went viral<\/dt><dd>TikTok 2024<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>Making it at home<\/dt><dd class=s>approx. 1 hour<\/dd><\/div><\/dl><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"cxh-body\"><div class=\"w\">\n<h2>What is Dubai chocolate<\/h2>\n<p>Dubai chocolate is <b>a bar of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chocotopia.cz\/en\/types-of-chocolate\/\">milk or dark chocolate<\/a> filled with pistachio cream, tahini (sesame paste) and toasted strands of kataifi pastry<\/b>. Its flavour is reminiscent of kunafa \u2014 a traditional Middle Eastern dessert made from fine pastry strands, syrup and cheese. What remains of it here is mainly the crunch and the pistachio, wrapped in a chocolate shell.<\/p>\n<p>The whole magic lies in the contrast: smooth chocolate, a creamy filling, and something inside that crunches with every bite.<\/p>\n<h2>Where it came from<\/h2>\n<p>The first Dubai chocolate was made by <b>Fix Dessert Chocolatier<\/b> in Dubai. The company was founded by British-Egyptian entrepreneur <b>Sarah Hamouda<\/b>, who, in her own words, was craving a chocolate that tasted of kunafa while she was pregnant. She came up with the bar in 2021; it was called Can\u2019t Get Knafeh of It, and for a long time only a handful of customers in Dubai knew about it.<\/p>\n<p>The turning point came in <b>2024<\/b>, when a video of someone breaking it open on TikTok passed <b>one hundred million views<\/b>. The chocolate could only be bought in Dubai, so people started buying it up in bulk and reselling it for several times the original price. Within a few months, chocolatiers and big brands all over the world had started making it.<\/p>\n<h2>Why is Dubai chocolate so expensive<\/h2>\n<p>Three things drive the price:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cxh-ul\"><li><b>Pistachios.<\/b> They are among the most expensive nuts of all \u2014 and the huge interest in Dubai chocolate pushed their price on world markets <b>up by as much as 60%<\/b> in 2025.<\/li><li><b>Handwork.<\/b> The kataifi has to be toasted and mixed into the filling, and every bar is filled individually. With genuine Dubai chocolate, a machine can\u2019t do it.<\/li><li><b>Weight.<\/b> A bar is much heavier than an ordinary 100-gram chocolate bar \u2014 there\u2019s often more filling in it than chocolate.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>And, of course, demand. Whatever goes viral sells for more.<\/p>\n<h2>What genuine Dubai chocolate contains<\/h2>\n<p>The original recipe rests on four ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"cxh-ul\"><li><b>chocolate shell<\/b> \u2014 milk chocolate in the original, often decorated with a colourful pattern<\/li><li><b>pistachio cream<\/b> \u2014 with as high a share of pistachios as possible, not just a sweet green paste<\/li><li><b>tahini<\/b> \u2014 sesame paste, which gives the filling depth and balances the sweetness<\/li><li><b>kataifi<\/b> \u2014 very fine strands of pastry, toasted in butter until golden<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>If the wrapper lists mainly sugar, vegetable fat and flavouring instead of pistachios, and puffed rice instead of kataifi, it\u2019s merely inspired by Dubai chocolate.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chocotopia.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/dubajska-cokolada-pistacie.webp\" alt=\"Pistachios in a bowl on a marble surface\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Recipe: Dubai chocolate at home<\/h2>\n<p>Makes <b>2 bars<\/b> (silicone chocolate bar mould, approx. 15 \u00d7 7 cm)<\/p>\n<p><b>For the shell<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"cxh-ul\"><li>250 g milk or dark chocolate<\/li><\/ul>\n<p><b>For the filling<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"cxh-ul\"><li>100 g kataifi (you\u2019ll find it in Middle Eastern shops, often frozen)<\/li><li>30 g butter<\/li><li>150 g pistachio cream<\/li><li>2 tablespoons tahini<\/li><li>a pinch of salt<\/li><\/ul>\n<ol class=\"cxh-steps\"><li><span class=\"n\">1<\/span><h4>Toast the kataifi<\/h4><p>Tear the strands into shorter pieces and toast them in a frying pan with melted butter, stirring constantly, until golden \u2014 it takes 5\u20138 minutes.

It\u2019s the most expensive ingredient, but the whole flavour depends on it.<\/p>\n<h2>What to use instead of kataifi<\/h2>\n<p>If you can\u2019t get hold of kataifi, <b>finely crushed butter wafers<\/b> or <b>cornflakes<\/b> will give you the crunch. The flavour changes a little, but the principle \u2014 cream and crunch \u2014 stays the same. The puffed rice used in cheap imitations is very much a last resort.<\/p>\n<h2>Dark or milk?<\/h2>\n<p>The original is <b>milk chocolate<\/b>, and for most people that\u2019s a safe bet. The pistachio filling is very sweet, though, so <b>dark chocolate of around 70%<\/b> gives a bolder, more balanced result.
