Dubai is establishing itself not only as a luxury tourist destination but also as the home of unique chocolate treats that blend local flavors and cultural elements. One of the most popular desserts is the chocolate bar filled with pistachios and kadaif—a sweet, crunchy delicacy inspired by local Arabic desserts. This chocolate is made from hand-selected ingredients and combines the sweetness of chocolate with the nutty flavor of pistachios and the texture of kadaif.
The Story Behind Fix Dessert Chocolatier’s Dubai Chocolate
Fix Dessert Chocolatier is an innovative chocolate brand from Dubai, founded in 2021 by Sara Hamuda. It all began as a personal project, inspired by Sara’s—a former marketing expert—desire to create something different and memorable. Inspired by popular Arab desserts such as kadaif and furmi, she incorporated unconventional ingredients—kadaif, vanilla cream, and karak tea—into rich chocolate. Upon its debut, Fix quickly gained popularity on social media thanks to an ASMR video viewed over 56 million times, which drew global attention and generated immense interest in their chocolate creations.
The creators emphasize handcrafted production and creativity in every bar, which features modern flavor combinations such as Biscoff and Nutella fudge. The chocolate bars are sold in limited quantities and sell out in minutes, leading to a “black market” for these sweet treats on an international scale. Fix Dessert Chocolatier plans to expand production but remains committed to high quality and unique products.
This brand is not just a sweet treat, but an experience that combines creativity, authentic local flavors, and international influences, making Dubai chocolate a symbol of the region’s gourmet culture.
