Today I want to talk to you about the viral sensation that is Dubai chocolate.
00:07
Now you might have heard of it if you're a follower of social media, TikTok in
00:13
particular, or you might not have done but I guarantee that you're about to see
00:17
way more of it because the likes of Lint and some supermarket chains like
00:22
Morrisons and Lidl are bringing out their own version. So what is it? Well
00:27
it's chocolate with pistachio cream and something called, now let me get this
00:33
right, I'm sorry if I don't pronounce it right,
00:35
knaffa, knaffa, which is typically Arabic but it's a spun pastry dough that
00:44
they put with the pistachio cream and that's a filling for some thick milk
00:48
chocolate. When I heard that the likes of Lidl and Morrisons were doing their own
00:55
I went in search of it but I couldn't find any so I asked Father Christmas for
00:59
some and this is what he got me. Now this is from I believe a Manchester
01:05
chocolatier called Coco Cabana and it's all very sparkly and very posh so this
01:12
one I believe is about £16 for that block so I'm not suggesting that
01:19
it's all that dear, this was a particular special one for Christmas but let's see
01:24
what it's like. What is typical from looking online is
01:30
that this kind of Dubai chocolate is associated with very thick chocolate and
01:36
this very dense luscious filling. Now it's a green colour which you might not
01:43
necessarily associate with sweet treats and chocolates but that's pistachio and
01:48
I believe that it's pistachio cream and it's got these kind of like very
01:53
fine spun noodles essentially that are mixed in with it and when you bite in
02:00
it's kind of reminiscent of a KitKat in a way, the kind of like the moist
02:07
filling in a KitKat, it's got a crunchy and quite a mild nutty flavour, it's
02:13
not overpowering at all and with the milk chocolate it is lovely, it's very
02:19
very very rich and you wouldn't want too much in one go but do you know what I
02:27
think it's completely worth the hype and I can't wait for this to be spread
02:30
around in more mainstream shops.
