dubai chocolate bar

This homemade version of the viral Dubai Chocolate Bar is an easy-to-make recipe with 3 main ingredients and chocolate molds. The result is a crunchy sweet and unique chocolate bar!

Dubai Chocolate Bar Recipe

white chocolate chips

milk chocolate chips (divided)

unsalted butter

kataifi shredded dough (finely chopped)

pistachio butter

tahini

Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30 second intervals. Stir the chocolate in between each 30 seconds until all the chocolate is melted. Drizzle with a fork into 2 16-ounce chocolate molds and set aside in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Place 10 ounces of the chocolate chips in another microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30 second intervals. Stir the chocolate in between each 30 seconds until the chocolate is mostly melted. Fold in the remaining 2 ounces of chocolate chips and stir to combine. Pour about half the chocolate over the white chocolate drizzle and use a pastry brush to make sure it evenly covers the bottom and sides. Allow it to set at room temperature for 5 minutes, then place in the freezer for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the kataifi and cook, stirring constantly until browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and stir in the pistachio butter and tahini, allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan while waiting on the chocolate molds to freeze.

Divide the pistachio filling mixture equally into the chocolate molds. Spread them out evenly to the top of the mold.

Pour the remaining half the melted chocolate over the pistachio filling and use a an off set spatula to evenly cover the pistachio mixture so it’s flat with the chocolate mold. Place in the freezer again for 20 minutes.

Remove from molds, cut into pieces and enjoy immediately. Keep stored in the fridge for best texture.

This was so good and so much fun to make! I’ve seen these bars all over social media and wanted to try! These definitely lived up to the hype!!

Thank you for the recipe. I purchased the chocolate molds you recommended and loved the easy steps of this recipe! Can’t wait to try your Dubai Chocolate covered strawberries during strawberry picking season. Sooo good! Xx

Just made this and wow—it turned out amazing! The combination of textures is perfect: crunchy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. It was super easy to follow, and I loved that it only needed a few ingredients. Such a fun and unique twist on a chocolate bar—definitely going into my favorites!

Magically one week after purchasing our first Dubai bar at a local candy store your email appeared in the inbox! Needless to say perfect timing. I ordered the kataifi and chocolate molds. I made my own pistachio butter. The recipe directions are well written and easy to follow. This bar is excellent. I have reordered more kataifi so we don’t run out and I can make it whenever I want.  Thank you for the wonderful 5-star recipe!

We tried this last year when we went on vacation and haven’t been able to find it anywhere near us. This recipe is great and super easy. The chocolate turned out so good that I made like 15 bars to keep on hand! So good!

The Dubai chocolate bars turned out amazing! The recipe is much easier than anticipated. Love the use of a dark chocolate (instead of milk) as they are not too sweet. The addition of the tahini is also so good 😊. Made a bunch and packaged them as party favors for a birthday brunch and the guests went crazy for them.

Made these for a family gathering. They were super yummy and so fun to make!

10 out 10 would make this again! The combination of pistachio cream and chocolate is elite, yum! Looks like an expensive treat that is not labor intensive. Simple and easy to make. 
So good!

These extra decadent Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake Bars feature a kataifi pistachio cream crust, a creamy cheesecake filling, then topped with more kataifi pistachio and finished with a smooth and silky chocolate ganache! It&#39;s crunchy, sweet, salty, and 100% delicious!

Dubai Chocolate Cheesecake Bars

shredded kataifi dough

pistachio cream

tbsp tahini

cream cheese blocks

sugar

sour cream (room temperature)

tsp vanilla extract

salt

eggs (room temperature)

semi-sweet chocolate (chocolate chips

heavy cream

Line an 8x8 square baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to let the parchment overhang for easy removal. Set aside.

Preheat a large skillet on medium heat and melt 5 tbsp of butter, then add the kataifi dough and coat in butter. 5 tbsp might seem like a lot of butter initially but it&#39;s important to coat all the pastry dough in butter so that it crisps up. Continue stirring (don&#39;t leave it, otherwise parts of it could start burning). It will take about 10-15 minutes to get all the pastry dough crispy and golden brown. Just keep stirring until you reach the desired color and all the dough is now golden brown. Pour crispy kataifi into a bowl, add the pistachio cream and tahini and stir.

Pour ⅔ of the kataifi filling into the prepared baking pan and press into the bottom of the pan. You can use a spoon, offset spatula, or flat measuring cup to create a smooth, flat bottom. Cover the remaining ⅓ of the filling and store until cheesecake is done chilling (you&#39;ll be adding this to the top of the cheesecake).

Crust

Preheat oven to 325℉

In a large mixing bowl, add the room temperature cream cheese and sugars and beat together on medium speed until well combined, smooth, and creamy - about 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl and sides. Add the salt and vanilla extract and beat for 30 seconds.

Add the eggs and beat until combined. Don&#39;t over mix. Just until all the eggs are combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 min until sides puff up and cracks form and there’s a slight jiggle in the center of the cheesecake. Remove from the oven and let come to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours, or overnight.If your cheesecake cracks, it&#39;s ok. You&#39;ll top it with spread, which will cover the cracks. See tips below for avoiding cracks.

Cheesecake Bars

Once cheesecake is chilled, top with the remaining kataifi/pistachio filling and smooth it out into an even layer.

Place chocolate in a heat-proof bowl and set aside. Heat up heavy cream until it reaches a simmer (do not boil), then pour it over the chocolate and let sit for a few minutes, then stir until completely smooth. Once smooth, let it sit for about 5 or so minutes until it thickens a little, then pour it over the cheesecake and smooth it out. If the chocolate is still too thin, let it sit another 10 minutes before slicing into the cheesecake.Tips for cutting cheesecake: Warm your knife under warm water, then wipe it down. Slice into the cheesecake, and make sure to wipe the knife down between slices to get clean cuts.

Filling &amp; Topping

This looks so amazing! I havent made yet just one question before I start - is the crust going  to remain  crunchy after  being baked with cheesecake layer on it? thank you !

Delicious! Love that it didn't need a water bath. The chocolate ganache was very good. Thank you for the reciep.

Delicious! Loved this recipe. It wasn't too sweet. So good.

OMG so amazing. They were all gone, I'm so sad I had no leftovers to take home.

Saw these on Pinterest and knew I needed to make them immediately. My whole family loved them. Thank you

What a delicious cheesecake. It was quite easy to make. The chocolate ganache was the perfect consistency. Thanks for the recipe.

I usually don't make baked cheesecakes because I'm intimidated by them, but I was happy to see that this one had no water bath. Making all the elements took a bit longer for me because I never made kataifi before, so I was worried I was going to burn it, but it all came out great. My family loved it. It wasn't too sweet and the flavors were delicious.
