Key Ingredients for a Dubai Chocolate Bar
To achieve an authentic taste, we’ll incorporate traditional Middle Eastern ingredients that complement the rich cocoa base. Here’s what you’ll need:
Base Ingredients:
- 200g dark chocolate (at least 70% cocoa for a rich flavor)
- 50g milk chocolate (optional for a creamier texture)
- 2 tbsp cocoa butter (for a smoother consistency)
- 1 tbsp honey or date syrup (for a subtle sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Exotic Flavor Additions:
- 2 tbsp chopped dates (adds natural sweetness and a chewy texture)
- 1 tbsp pistachios or almonds, finely chopped
- 1 tsp ground cardamom (for an aromatic touch)
- 1 tsp saffron-infused warm milk (for a luxurious taste)
- 1 tsp rose water (for a subtle floral note)
Optional Toppings:
- Crushed sesame seeds or coconut flakes
- Edible gold flakes for a glamorous finish.
Instructions For Dubai Chocolate Bar
Step 1: Get the chocolate base ready.
Chop the dark and milk chocolate into small pieces and set them in a heatproof basin. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments while stirring, or by using the double boiler method (put the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure it doesn’t touch the water).
After melting, mix in the vanilla essence, honey (or date syrup), and cocoa butter until smooth.
Step 2: Add Flavors from the Middle East
For a few minutes, steep a few strands of saffron in a small basin filled with heated 1 tsp milk. Mix the melted chocolate mixture with the milk that has been infused with saffron.
Stir to evenly distribute the chopped dates, cardamom, pistachios, and rose water.
Step 3: Pour the chocolate bar and set it.
Use parchment paper to line a small rectangular baking dish or mold. Using a spatula, smooth the top of the chocolate mixture after pouring it into the mold.
For a sophisticated finish, scatter your preferred toppings, such as edible gold flakes, coconut flakes, or sesame seeds.
Step 4: Relax and Have Fun!
For one to two hours, or until the chocolate is completely set, place the mold in the refrigerator. Once solid, take it out of the mold and cut it into squares or bars.
For a longer shelf life, refrigerate or store at room temperature in an airtight container.
