Instructions: Make your own Dubai chocolate

A slightly different post: Dubai chocolate has experienced a real hype in recent months. Originally created by Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, it consists of a milk chocolate shell filled with pistachio cream and kadayif threads (angel hair), which give it a unique crunch.

This luxurious sweet combines the exotic taste of the Orient with fine, high-quality ingredients.

Ingredients for a bar of Dubai chocolate

  • 150 g milk chocolate coating
  • 100 g Kadayif (angel hair)
  • 20 g butter
  • 125 g sweetened pistachio cream
  • 1 teaspoon sesame paste (tahini)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped pistachios for sprinkling

preparation

  1. Prepare the chocolate coating:
    • Finely chop the chocolate coating and melt half of it in a water bath over low heat.
    • Pour the melted chocolate coating into a loaf pan (approx. 11 x 25 cm) lined with cling film and spread it so that the base and about 1.5 cm of the edge are covered.
    • Place the mold in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set.
  2. Prepare the filling:
    • Cut the kadayif into small pieces and fry it in a pan with the butter until golden brown.
    • Mix the roasted kadayif with the pistachio cream and the sesame paste in a bowl until creamy and allow to cool.
  3. Filling chocolate:
    • Pour the cooled filling into the prepared pan and smooth it out.
    • Melt the remaining chocolate coating again and pour it over the filling so that the chocolate is completely coated.
    • Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top and let the chocolate set in the fridge.
  4. Serve:
    • Turn the finished Dubai chocolate out of the mold and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Pistachio cream: Make sure to use a sweetened pistachio cream with at least 45% pistachio content. 100% pistachio butter is not suitable due to its consistency and lack of sweetness. Oetker
  • Kadayif: This fine dough thread, also called angel hair, is available in Turkish or oriental grocery stores. Oetker
  • Storage: To preserve the aroma and consistency, store Dubai chocolate at a temperature between 15 and 18 degrees Celsius in a cool, dry place. Oetker

Is Dubai chocolate worth trying?

Our opinion: Definitely yes! The chocolate is delicious, and the kadayif gives it a nice crunch. The pistachio cream we used was from Edeka. It cost a whopping €5.99.
