Dubai chocolate, the internet-viral chocolate bar filled with creamy green pistachio paste and crunchy phyllo dough bits, is making big waves in Dallas.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a short history behind the Dubai chocolate bar. It was created<\/a> by Sarah Hamouda, a first-time chocolatier and founder of Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, to address her pregnancy cravings in 2021. Hamouda called it the “Can’t Get Knafeh Of It” bar, inspired by a similar Middle Eastern dessert called knafeh.<\/p>\n

Dubai chocolate has evolved beyond its original milk chocolate bar form, and now dessert makers and chocolatiers around the world have created cups, ice cream, cakes, and more.<\/p>\n
