What Is Dubai Chocolate?
Dubai chocolate burst onto the scene in 2021, born from Sarah Hamouda’s pregnancy cravings in Dubai. This irresistible treat blends finely chopped kadayif, a rich pistachio filling, and premium chocolate, creating a social media sensation. Ingredients like kadayif and pistachios, staples of Turkish cuisine, make this dessert feel like home for us. At Ceviz Ev Yapımı, we’ve reimagined this global hit with a local twist. Our recipe uses sustainable, natural ingredients, delivering a guilt-free indulgence that’s as delicious as it is eco-conscious.
Ceviz Ev Yapımı’s Dubai Chocolate Recipe
Ingredients (4-6 servings):
- 200 g dark chocolate (70% cocoa, natural and additive-free)
- 100 g kadayif (roasted, finely chopped)
- 80 g pistachios (unsalted, finely ground, preferably local)
- 50 g butter (natural, melted)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional, natural sweetener)
- A pinch of sea salt (optional, for enhanced flavor)
Instructions:
- Prepare the kadayif: Melt butter in a pan over medium heat. Add kadayif and roast for 5-7 minutes until golden. Stir on low heat for a crispy texture. Let cool.
- Melt the chocolate: Melt dark chocolate using a double boiler. Stir occasionally for a smooth consistency and let it cool slightly for tempering.
- Combine the mixture: Add roasted kadayif, ground pistachios, and honey to the melted chocolate. Stir gently until fully mixed.
- Pour into molds: Transfer the mixture to silicone chocolate molds or a parchment-lined tray. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt if desired.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 20 minutes until set. Remove from molds.
- Serve: Present on a chic platter, garnished with dried berries or fruits.
Pro Tip: Keep kadayif dry to maintain its crunch, and temper chocolate at low heat for a glossy finish.
