Dubai chocolate

Dubai Chocolate Bar – Recipe for the viral Dubai Chocolate, here in a crunchy homemade confectionery version with Rice Krispies, Cornflakes, pistachio cream, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate.

Dubai Chocolate is a chocolate bar consisting of milk chocolate with a crispy center made of kadayif, tahini, and pistachio cream. This chocolate bar has become incredibly popular worldwide, but the original Dubai Chocolate comes from Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai. The crispy and crunchy center between the chocolate layers tastes amazing.

Here, I have made the chocolate bar in a slightly different version, more resembling a confectionery bar. The chocolate bar consists of three layers:

A layer of dark chocolate with Rice Krispies.
A layer of pistachio cream, Cornflakes, butter, and salt.
A final layer of milk chocolate, white chocolate, and chopped pistachios.

For best results, use a silicone loaf pan, as it makes it easier to remove the finished chocolate bar. Alternatively, you can use a regular loaf pan lined with plastic wrap. The chocolate bar can be stored for a couple of weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Originally, kadayif is used instead of Cornflakes, which I have used here. Kadayif consists of thin strands of filo dough, commonly used in Middle Eastern desserts. It is fried until crispy in butter. You can find it at specialty grocery stores and markets. Pistachio cream can be made at home or purchased in larger supermarkets—I got mine at Meny Denmark.

Enjoy!
