It gained massive popularity after a TikTok video in December 2023 garnered over 120 million views, leading to a surge in demand.
As more people crave this unique dessert, pistachio prices have soared. The situation is worsened by a poor pistachio harvest in the U.S, the world's top exporter. To meet the growing demand, Iran increased its pistachio exports to the UAE by 40% between September 2024 and March 2025.&nbsp;
Major chocolate and dessert brands have introduced their own pistachio-infused products, further fueling the hype for this treat. However, the original Dubai chocolate remains exclusive, sold only in the UAE for limited hours.&nbsp;
Have you tried any pistachio desserts amid the Dubai chocolate craze yet? Is it really worth the hype?
