What Is Dubai Chocolate Dip? Plus 12 Ways to Eat It

Jar of Chocbox Dubai Dip pistachio cream and kataifi spread

Dubai chocolate dip is a spoonable spread made from the filling of the viral Dubai chocolate bar: pistachio cream and tahini mixed with crispy shredded kataifi. It's creamy and crunchy in the same bite, and you can eat it straight from the jar. No melting, molding or baking.

What is the Dubai chocolate bar?

The Dubai chocolate bar is a thick chocolate bar stuffed with pistachio cream and toasted kataifi. It went viral on TikTok and Instagram because of the crunch you hear when you break it open. Making one at home takes chocolate, a mold, and time for it to set.

What's in Dubai Dip?

  • Pistachio cream for the rich, nutty base.
  • Tahini (sesame paste) for a silky texture and a slightly savory edge.
  • Kataifi, shredded phyllo pastry toasted until golden, for crunch.

Chocbox's Classic Dubai Dip comes in 8oz and 20oz "Big Dipper" jars. Other flavors include Dubai Dip with Chocolate Ganache, Strawtella (hazelnut cream with crunchy strawberries) and Chewy Cookie (with gooey chocolate marshmallow).

Dubai Dip vs. the Dubai chocolate bar

  • Dubai Dip is ready to eat. Open the jar and use it as a dip, spread or topping.
  • The bar takes making. A Chocbox Dubai chocolate bar kit includes chocolate wafers, the pistachio filling, kataifi and a reusable mold, and takes about 15–20 minutes of hands-on time.
