Sharing & Entertaining

Dubai Chocolate Fondue

The ultimate sharing dessert. A velvety pistachio-chocolate fondue served warm in a pot with a spread of dippers: strawberries, banana, marshmallows and kataifi-rolled treats.

⏱ Prep: 15 min 🔥 Cook: 10 min 👤 Servings: 6 people ⭐ Difficulty: Easy

Step-by-step instructions

1

Make the fondue base

Heat cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over chopped milk chocolate. Stir until smooth.

2

Add pistachio

Stir in pistachio cream and vanilla extract until fully incorporated and glossy.

3

Transfer to fondue pot

Pour into a fondue pot or small slow cooker on low heat to keep warm. Or use a heatproof bowl over a tea-light warmer.

4

Prep the dippers

Arrange strawberries, banana slices, marshmallows and pretzels on a board around the fondue pot.

5

Roll in kataifi

Dip marshmallows in the fondue and roll in toasted kataifi for a Dubai-chocolate-bar-style bite.

6

Serve and enjoy

Keep the fondue warm throughout the party, stirring occasionally. Refresh with a splash of cream if it thickens too much.

💡 Dubai Bar tip: If your fondue gets too thick, add a tablespoon of warm cream and stir — it will loosen immediately. Never add cold cream directly as it can make the chocolate seize.
