By now, you probably know what Dubai chocolate is.

But, if you’ve been living under a rock, then here’s a quick explainer. 

The chocolate that’s taken the world by storm: Dubai chocolate

2025 has been the year of Dubai chocolate. 

This viral chocolate bar features creamy milk chocolate filled with pistachio cream, tahini and chopped kataifi (shredded filo pastry). 

It was originally created by a chocolatier based in Dubai way back in 2021, but fast forward four years, and you’ll find sweets inspired by the chocolate EVERYWHERE. 

For Christmas 2025, Woolies has taken the flavours of Dubai chocolate and turned them into the most decadent tarts ever. 

Gold Dubai-Inspired Chocolate & Pistachio Tarts

Woolies unveiled its Christmas dessert line-up for 2025, with Dubai-inspired tarts the headline act. 

These mini tarts feature a tart shell that’s been filled with crispy kataifi, creamy pistachio spread and is topped with decadent chocolate ganache and chopped pistachios. 

What the Best Recipes team thought of Gold Dubai-Inspired Tarts

The Best Recipes team was lucky enough to get an early taste of this soon-to-be viral hit, and as big Dubai chocolate fans, we’re always eager to try out the latest twists on this chocolate bar. 

These tarts taste EXACTLY like Dubai chocolate.

There’s a perfect amount of sweet pistachio spread, smooth chocolate ganache and kataifi pastry. 

We were worried the kataifi pastry might not stay crispy in the tarts, but we were wrong! The pastry is super crispy and has a great texture alongside the creamier fillings.
