Dubai chocolate is the name of a chocolate tablet with filling made of mixed kadayif and pistachio. It was allegedly invented in 2021 by Fix Dessert Chocolatier in the Emirate of Dubai and became popular in 2024.[1][2]

History

Dubai chocolate first appeared in 2021 but did not became famous until it was advertised by influencers in 2024. The complex production and increasing demand caused high prices. This has led to legal disputes over trademark rights and geographical indication in some countries.[3]

Sarah Hamouda, who founded the company Fix Dessert Chocolatiers in the Emirate of Dubai some time before, claimed to be the inventor of the Dubai chocolate.[1][2]
