Trend-Food: Was ist eigentlich aus dem Hype um Dubai-Schokolade geworden?
Im Herbst 2024 stellten sich die Deutschen wegen einer teuren Süßigkeit in langen Schlangen an. Heute scheint Dubai-Schokolade aus den Supermärkten verschwunden. Oder doch nicht?
In Düsseldorf, determining the current availability of Dubai chocolate in Germany leads to an important question: was Dubai chocolate ever sold in Germany? A precise reading of the situation reveals that the answer is no. This original piece of chocolate, which sparked the trend, was crafted by Sarah Hamouda in the United Arab Emirates during her pregnancy, in collaboration with Philippino chef Nouel Catis Omamalin.
This chocolate was generously filled with pistachio cream and Kadayif, a thin, crisp noodle-like dough. The product's appeal remained limited until a TikToker posted a video in late 2023 showing her eating a piece. This video has since garnered over 150 million views. In 2024, Dubai chocolate experienced a resurgence, with long queues forming outside Lindt stores in Germany and numerous imitators demanding high prices.
The original creator, Hamouda, operated under the name Fix Dessert Chocolatier, but her product never made it to the German market.
