Dubai chocolate sensation

It's the candy bar that has taken the internet by storm. We're talking about Dubai chocolate

The pistachio infused dessert has become so popular that it's inspired all kinds of new creations

From crepes to ice cream, Jodi Goldberg takes us to several Long Island sweet shops to find out what the buzz is all about

Sugar Bay Cafe is serving up the Dubai dessert craze, one scoop of shredded phyllo dough at a time

I myself like to try new things, up-and-coming things. I really like the idea of the Dubai chocolate, how it's, you know, the crunchy texture inside

Veena Prithiani went from banking to baking. She opened up shop here in Hicksville after she says there weren't many sit-down options for late-night sweets on Long Island

We're actually open until midnight, and we have people coming in even up until 11.55

Coming in craving cheesecake, coffee, and just about anything related to Dubai chocolate you can dream of

We have the Dubai cake, a Dubai milkshake, you name it, we have it all

We even have Dubai rolled ice cream. And as Dubai chocolate evolves, it's no longer just one item

It's a flavor trend. And now shops are trying to figure out what it goes best with

It's the brownie inside and then the same filling with the kunafa and the pistachio and the white chocolate inside

Just down the street, Kawa House in Westbury is putting their own spin on their Dubai dessert

Gold powder on top and then, you know, dark chocolate, so it looks different. We usually don't incorporate a lot of things, like, outside of Yemen

but the Dubai chocolate is very culturally similar, so why not? As for Veena, as her menu grows..

The Dubai cookie, our popular one, the Dubai strawberry cup. So does her passion

And it really makes me happy to create something, and create an experience for people where they can come in and truly enjoy
