The viral Dubai chocolate bar is all over social media and I totally understand why! There are so many videos of people breaking it open to reveal the bright green creamy pistachio butter and filo filling which of course caught my eye. Now unfortunately I cannot travel to Dubai right now to try it so I thought the next best thing would be to turn it into a cake version.
What does this viral Dubai chocolate bar inspired cake taste like?
This cake tastes just like the Dubai chocolate bar in cake form. It has all the same elements with an edition of chocolate cake. So obviously we all know what chocolate cake tastes like, but unless you have tried pistachio butter it’s hard to explain. Also the filling has crispy toasted pieces of filo pastry mixed in with the pistachio butter which creates an insane texture experience in your mouth. I love the filling and could happily eat it by itself.
Now pistachio butter is one of my obsessions, it’s just so delicious! This is the brand that I use here, I get it on Amazon and I think the quality is top tier. It’s so creamy and tastes amazing with chocolate desserts like this cake.
The toasted filo is so easy to make, just shred 3 sheets into small pieces or chop up using a knife. Add 1 tsp of butter in a sauce pan and toast the filo until crispy and golden.
