The Dubai chocolate trend: Why its taking over the world

Crafting the viral pistachio and chocolate sensation

Shop Dubai chocolate inspired products

If you've been anywhere near social media lately, you'll have seen it - the glossy, rippling layers of Dubai chocolate being poured, cut, and savoured in the most mesmerising way. But what exactly is it, and why has it become a viral sensation? 

Dubai chocolate isn't a brand or a specific type of chocolate - it's a style. Think ultra-thin layers of high-quality chocolate, stacked with precision and often filled with luxurious ingredients like pistachios, hazelnuts, or silky ganache. The magic happens when it's cut, revealing those stunning folds and delicate layers that almost melt at the touch of a knife.

It's indulgent, it's mesmerising, and it's completely irresistible...

Why has the Dubai chocolate concept gone viral? 

Dubai chocolate is the perfect mix of luxury, craftsmanship, and pure visual satisfaction - exactly what social media loves. With ASMR-worthy slicing sounds, slow-motion chocolate drizzles, and those gorgeous layers folding over each other, it’s no wonder TikTok and Instagram are obsessed! Plus, the Middle Eastern influence of premium ingredients like saffron, dates, and rose adds an extra touch of exclusivity.

Dubai influence

Dubai has long been known for its opulence, and this chocolate trend is no different. With a passion for high-quality ingredients and breathtaking presentation, chocolatiers in the region have taken the art of chocolate-making to a whole new level.

How to make it

The key to nailing the Dubai chocolate aesthetic is using high-quality couverture chocolate (with a beautiful snap and sheen), a precise layering technique, plus premium pistachio products that really add a pop of flavour to your creations. 

Trending search and social media popularity

The Dubai chocolate bar ranked as the fifth most searched food and drink recipe in 2024, according to Google Trends.
 
The hashtag #DubaiChocolate accumulated over a million mentions across social platforms, contributing to its viral status.

Videos featuring the Dubai chocolate have amassed millions of views on TikTok and Instagram, with a notable viral ASMR video garnering over 56 million views.

Dubai chocolate experienced a 300% increase in global sales within a year, reflecting its rapid rise in popularity.
