Description
An easy copycat recipe for the viral Dubai Chocolate Bar, featuring a fudgy center, crunchy pistachios, and a glossy chocolate top.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces chocolate (8 ounces milk chocolate, 4 ounces semi-sweet)
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups tea biscuits or digestive biscuits, crushed
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
- 1/2 cup chopped dates (optional)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons tahini (optional)
- A pinch of cardamom
- A pinch of sea salt
- 4 to 6 ounces milk chocolate for top layer
- White chocolate or milk chocolate for drizzle
Instructions
- Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang to lift later.
- Crush the tea or digestive biscuits into rough crumbs and mix with melted butter, a pinch of sea salt, and cardamom. Press mixture evenly into the lined pan.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate with the sweetened condensed milk in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add tahini if using.
- Fold in chopped pistachios and dates, then spread the mixture over the biscuit base.
- Melt additional milk chocolate and pour over the fudge layer. Smooth into a thin coating and sprinkle with more pistachios. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours until firm.
- Use a hot knife to cut into 16 squares or 12 bars, wiping the blade between cuts for clean edges.
Notes
These bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to two months. Let sit at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
