It’s been circulating the internet since last summer, and now the Dubai chocolate craze has reached AVL.
If you haven’t heard of this trendy treat, it’s a chocolate bar filled with creamy pistachio and knafeh — a pastry dough layered with cheese and soaked in a sugar-based syrup. Here’s where you can find it around the Land of the Sky — and some sweet spins on the trend:
Asheville Sweets | Crunch on the nutty chocolate bar or indulge in one of the showstopping Dubai strawberry cups with layered strawberries, crispy kataifi dough, pistachio cream, and melted chocolate — send a DM to the shop on Instagram order.
Potential New Boyfriend | The hip dessert bar boats a “Summer in Dubai” sundae with vegan pistachio ice cream, roasted strawberries, and kataif crunch.
Baked Pie Company | The pie shop just debuted an absolutely luscious-looking Dubai Chocolate Strawberry pie painted with pistachio cream.
Conjure Craft Chocolate | The bean-to-bar chocolate shop will have the crunchy sweet treat available at the North Asheville Tailgate Market this Saturday, May, 3.
If you see one of the Dubai chocolate-inspired treats on special at a local spot, grab it because they go fast. Old Europe debuted Dubai chocolate macarons, and Beradu in Black Mountain sliced up a decadent devil’s food and pistachio cake from Seven’s Bakehouse.
