It’s another win for chocolate enthusiasts! If you’re an avid scroller on TikTok, you might have already come across the famous Dubai chocolate that’s taking the internet by storm! However, what is the exact reason on why this specific chocolate is going viral?
It all started with different FoodTok Content creators buying and making this sweet treat immensely appealing and scrumptious to their audience. Their selling point is when they snap this marbled chocolate in half and a delicious-looking, creamy, and green filling comes out.
Another bonus was that every bite they took gave off big ASMR vibes! The filling was crunchy hence it got everyone hooked! This Dubai chocolate has this unique ingredient that not many people have tasted or even know of– Kataifi!
Kataifi is a special pastry dough that is made with phyllo strands. Phyllo is made with wheat flour, a dash of oil or butter, and water. You may also hear them say Knafeh chocolate. Don’t get confused! Knafeh is different from Kataifi. Knafeh is a traditional Arabic dessert that contains Kataifi which is also the main ingredient of the viral Dubai chocolate hence its comparison with the traditional Arabic dessert.
Aside from its unique flavor and crunchy texture, the green filling is made of pistachio butter which adds to the nutty and sweet flavor of the chocolate. You may want to save up for this chocolate as it is known to be quite on the expensive side!
You can also make the Knafeh Dubai chocolate at home with ingredients you can probably get at your local grocery store. Lots of influencers as well have been making their own!
