When you think of chocolate, you probably think of places like Belgium, Switzerland, or Willy Wonka’s factory. But thanks to a booming social media trend, “Dubai chocolate” is as hot as the desert metropolis that it hails from. The trendy treat is a chocolate bar filled with sweet pistachio cream and shredded dough. While the chocolate and creamy filling sometimes contains stolen cows’ milk, there’s plenty of ways to enjoy vegan Dubai chocolate.
Dubai Chocolate Ingredients
Dubai chocolate consists of three basic elements:
- Chocolate: Some companies make their bars with milk chocolate or dark chocolate that contains milk.
- Pistachio Cream: This often contains milk and whey. Vegan Dubai chocolate bars often use 100% pistachio butter instead of pistachio cream.
- Kataifi: Kataifi is shredded pastry dough that’s typically made from a mix of wheat flour, corn starch, salt, and water.

Why Vegan Chocolate?
Cows used in the dairy industry spend their whole lives in filthy, cramped conditions until their exhausted bodies wear out and they’re sent to the slaughterhouse. Vegan chocolate is made with delicious ingredients like almond, oat, or coconut milk, and sweetened naturally with cane sugar, coconut sugar, agave syrup, or maple syrup. It’s not just healthier; it spares animals from suffering.
