Dubai Chocolate Making From Scratch Workshop

Dubai Chocolate from Scratch
Dubai Chocolate is a rich, luxurious treat made with dark chocolate, dates, and roasted nuts. The base is formed by blending dates and nuts into a chewy layer, then topped with smooth, melted chocolate. A touch of cardamom, rosewater, or tahini adds a Middle Eastern twist. Once chilled and set, it's cut into elegant pieces and garnished with crushed nuts or a hint of edible gold for that signature Dubai flair.

Imagine the aroma of roasted nuts, melted chocolate, and warm spices filling your kitchen. Dubai Chocolate is not just any dessert — it's a luxurious blend of Middle Eastern elegance and velvety sweetness. Making it from scratch begins with choosing the finest ingredients: dark chocolate with a high cocoa content, golden dates, a hint of cardamom, and maybe a swirl of tahini or rosewater for that distinct regional flair.
You start by gently melting the chocolate over a double boiler, letting it become silky and glossy. While that's happening, you pulse Medjool dates and roasted nuts like pistachios or almonds into a sticky, crumbly base — the foundation of your dessert. Some recipes call for a light touch of sea salt, balancing the richness with a savory whisper.

Then comes layering: the nut-date base is pressed into a tray, followed by a generous pour of molten chocolate. You might sprinkle crushed nuts on top, drizzle with white chocolate, or dust with edible gold powder — Dubai-style, after all, means no holding back.

After chilling until firm, you cut it into elegant squares or diamonds, each piece a decadent bite of creamy chocolate, crunchy nuts, and exotic undertones.
