Overview
Dubai chocolate (Arabic: شوكولاتة دبي, romanized: shūkūlātat Dubayy) is a style of chocolate bar filled with chopped kadayif (spun filo pastry) and a pistachio-tahini cream. It was created in 2021 by Nouel Catis Omamalin, a Filipino chef, and Sarah Hamouda, an Egyptian-British engineer, after she asked him to prepare a chocolate recipe similar to knafeh, which her mother used to make during her childhood. Hamouda and her husband are the co-owners of Fix Dessert Chocolatier, a chocolatier in Dubai. Dubai chocolate was popularized in 2024 by influencers on social media, especially those on TikTok, and has since been imitated by vendors worldwide.
