Where can you find the viral Dubai chocolate in Bangkok?

The world is going crazy for Dubai chocolate, or chocolate Dubai. If you can’t quite jet off to the desert to try some, there are actually plenty of places in Bangkok that are offering this delicious treat.

If you’ve been scrolling through Tiktok lately, you’ve probably seen Dubai chocolate popping up everywhere. However, beyond the mouthwatering videos, you may not know how this chocolate is made – or more importantly, where you can actually get your hands on it in Bangkok. Here’s the lowdown on where to get Dubai chocolate in Bangkok.

What is Dubai Chocolate?

Dubbed the ‘Dubai Chocolate Bar’ by TikTok users, this milk chocolate sensation is filled with pistachios and knafeh or (kunafa), a crispy, shredded phyllo pastry. It’s a vibrant creation, often splashed with edible paint, but it’s what is inside that counts.

Knafeh, a beloved Middle Eastern dessert, brings a sweet, buttery crunch to the mix, creating an unforgettable combination with pistachio. The chocolate itself was born at Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai, founded by British-Egyptian entrepreneur Sarah Hamouda. What started as a pregnancy craving in 2021 quickly became a side hustle that took off, with other flavours including cinnamon-spiced pastry with vanilla custard and caramel, or a rich mix of fudge and Nutella brownies.
