What is Château Gâteaux's Dubai cake made of?
Dubai Chocolate is a dessert filling made with pistachio cream, tahini and shredded phyllo dough, aka knafeh, which gives the treat a satisfying crunch. The crispy texture with moist chocolate cake gives the dessert its edge.
Sarah Hamouda, founder of FIX Dessert Chocolatier, created Dubai chocolate to satisfy her pregnancy cravings in 2022. She stuffed a chocolate bar with the pistachio filling to achieve a variety of textures and flavours in one bite. The dessert erupted on TikTok when influencer Maria Vehera amassed 125 million views after trying the Dubai chocolate bar.
In 2025, Château Gâteaux revived the trend with their viral Dubai cake, officially named the Chocolate Pistachio and Knafeh Cake, which is layered with pistachio, chocolate mousse on a moist chocolate sponge, crunchy knafeh and pistachio paste. The cake is topped with Dubai chocolate and dark chocolate ganache.
