What is a Dubai chocolate Greek yogurt dessert cup?
If you’re new to Dubai chocolate, it’s a chocolate bar filled with a mixture of pistachio butter and kataif (shredded phyllo dough), making it sweet, crunchy and nutty. But nutritionist and content creator @nourishwithnoa shares a yogurt cup recipe that resembles the flavors and textures of Dubai chocolate with a lightened-up twist.
The recipe uses Greek yogurt, shredded wheat cereal and pistachio butter for the base, which is topped with melted chocolate and pistachios before the dessert is refrigerated. Once the chocolate has hardened, it’s ready to enjoy by cracking that chocolate shell with a spoon and devouring.
