We all remember the Dubai chocolate bar that went viral a couple of years ago. Nutty, crunchy, and super sweet, it quickly became a global obsession within days. And now, that viral dessert is evolving. The latest version going viral on TikTok brings a new twist to the famous dessert, which is a chewy outer layer. Yes, it has evolved into Dubai chewy cookies!
The viral Dubai chocolate bar has just evolved into a new viral dessert: Dubai chewy cookies
After starting as a trend in South Korea, the Dubai chewy cookie has been showing up on social media feeds worldwide over the past four months. With its satisfying soft, stretchy skin and crunchy filling, it makes you curious about its taste. And yes, Bali has caught on. Here are a few places where you can try the viral Dubai chewy cookies in Bali.
What is the Dubai chewy cookie?
Somewhere between a cookie, a chocolate truffle, and candy, this treat was first created by South Korean pastry chef Kim Na-ra of Mond Cookie in Gimpo-si. It quickly became a sensation in South Korea, with people lining up just to get a taste. Even Starbucks in South Korea joined in, launching a “Dubai chewy roll” and limiting purchases per customer to keep up with demand.
At first glance, you might think the chewy outer layer is made of mochi, especially with how it stretches when pulled apart. But the texture actually comes from a marshmallow coating. Inside, you’ll find a mix of kunafa and pistachio cream.
