What is This Viral Dessert?

This TikTok video is said to be the reason that everyone wants to try Dubai chocolate.

@mariavehera257 @fixdessertchocolatier WOW, JUST WOW!!! Can’t explain how good these are! When a chocolate, a dessert and a piece of art meet this is what you get! 🍫 "Can't Get Knafeh of it," "Mind Your Own Busicoff," and "Crazy Over Caramel."

Seriously, where is she putting all of this chocolate? Clearly, she must be related to The Gilmore Girls.IYKYK.

Lily’s Mediterranean Express

I reached out to Diego, the owner of Lily’s Mediterranean Express, to see what he could tell me about this viral chocolate dessert. 

Okay, my first question had to be, what in the world is the green part of this chocolate dessert?

'’It's stuffed with homemade pistachio cream and a Middle Eastern dessert called kunafa.

So, why do you think that this type of dessert has all of the sudden become the trendiest treat to try?

I think it’s popular because of Cultural Significance and the Unique Flavor Combinations. Dubai chocolate often draws inspiration from traditional Middle Eastern desserts, adding a layer of cultural significance to the product. This has resonated with consumers who appreciate the blend of traditional flavors and modern innovation.

 You can try it for yourself at  Lily’s Mediterranean Express. And yes, they do make it in-house, and they also offer Dubai chocolate strawberry cups.
