July 7 is officially World Chocolate Day. A whole day dedicated to celebrating our one true love: chocolate.
But July is literally months away & tbh we’re not waiting until then to celebrate our obsession.
Cosmo ME has curated the ultimate list of the best spots in the UAE to get your choccy fix.
Whether you’re dying to try that viral chocolate-pistachio bar that is still all over our TikTok, or you’re in the mood for a rich, moreish chocolate drink that’ll satisfy all your cravings, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve basically created a chocolate treasure map for the region, guiding you to the most melt-in-your-mouth delights that the UAE has to offer.
Chocomelt cake
📍 Chocomelt, Dubai Mall.
Why we 🤎 it: Chocomelt’s signature cake was doing the rounds on social media for a long time before we finally tried it and it did not disappoint. A rich and creamy cake you’ll have no choice but to share, it even comes in a Nutella version. A beautiful blend of praline and creamy milk choc with buttery biscuits and biscuit wafers, with a drizzling of velvety smooth milk choc sauce, in case you were expecting even more chocolate.
Matilda Cake
📍 Parkers, Dubai Mall.
Why we 🤎 it: Possibly the reason we’re all so addicted to chocolate in the first place? This absolute slab of a chocolate cake slice is the re-creation of the famous fudgy cake from Matilda that is absolutely devoured in one sitting by Bruce. If Parker’s cake tastes anything like the one from the movie, we don’t know how he did it, but we know why.
The Cheese Bomb
📍 B Laban.
Why we 🤎 it: We didn’t get the hype till we tried it, and it was worth every single spoonful. Creamy clotted cheese covered in Belgian chocolate and pistachio sauce, if it was acceptable to eat this everyday best believe we would. It isn’t the Middle East’s bestseller for no reason!
Chocolate Moelleux
📍 Ganache chocolatier, Dubai Hills Mall.
Why we 🤎 it: Walking into Ganache Chocolatier is like walking into Willy Wonka’s own chocolate factory. This homegrown chocolatier sources the highest quality ingredients from France, Switzerland and Belgium and you can really tell in the taste of their desserts.
The Fix Chocolate Bar
📍 Deliveroo only.
Why we 🤎 it: You know that iconic chocolate bar that’s been all over your fyp for the last year? Yeah, we’re talking about that one. FIX Chocolate have got everything you could ever crave: rich and creamy Lotus, that spicy and sweet Karak, gooey and irresistible Knafeh, and the ultimate indulgence, salted caramel pretzel. Oh, and let’s not forget the classic, nutty goodness of pistachio. Don’t just scroll past this – your taste buds deserve this treat.
Cracking Chocolate Drink
📍 Logout Café, Dubai.
Why we 🤎 it: Have you tried the viral cracking chocolate drink? It’s a rich, creamy chocolate drink that’s frozen to perfection, giving you that satisfying crack when you break into it. Perfect for those scorching summer days when you just need a cool, decadent treat to chill you out, or y’know any other day in Dubai. Think of it as the ultimate summer accessory, cooling you down while giving you all those luxe chocolate vibes.
Chocolate Cup
📍 Claro Speciality Coffee, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
Why we 🤎 it: Imagine a dreamy cup of rich, velvety chocolate sauce, a slice of decadent chocolate cake that’s practically begging to be devoured, and a sprinkle of crunchy, delightful nuts. This combo is blowing up on TikTok, and let us tell you, it’s an absolute must-try. Why, you ask? Well, for starters, the chocolate sauce is so smooth and creamy, it’s like a warm hug for your taste buds. Then you’ve got the cake – moist, fudgy, and oh-so-chocolatey. And the nuts are a total game-changer. They add the perfect amount of crunch, making every single bite a mini explosion of texture and flavour.
Chocolate Kunafa Pistachio Ice Cream
📍 The Frozen Factory, Sharjah and Ajman.
Why we 🤎 it: Is it just us or have you been obsessing over that viral pistachio kunafa chocolate bar? Well, get ready to take your cravings to the next level because now you can indulge in its ice cream version. A creamy pistachio ice cream swirled with chocolate and a hint of that signature kunafa crunch is exactly what’s missing in your life. Go ahead, treat yourself—you deserve it, babe.
Brownie Cup
📍Break by Mara, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, and Dubai.
Why we 🤎 it: This treat is seriously next-level decadence. Imagine sinking your teeth into a fudge brownie, drenched in oodles of rich chocolate sauce. But wait, there’s more. Picture a dreamy layer of smooth, creamy white chocolate adding that perfect contrast of sweetness. It’s basically a chocolate lover’s dream come true, with each bite melting in your mouth and sending you straight to dessert heaven. Trust us, you won’t want to share this with anyone – it’s too good to resist.
Chocolate Injection
📍Switch, Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Why we 🤎 it: It’s a total classic that never goes out of style. This dessert? It’s a chocolate lover’s dream. Imagine indulging in rich, chocolate that’s not just on top but injected right into the heart of the treat. Perfect for when you’re craving something sweet and seriously chocolatey. Whether you’re celebrating or just treating yourself (because you totally deserve it), this oldie-but-goodie is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth in the most delicious way possible.
