What’s the new dessert?
The latest dessert to send Costco members racing to their nearest warehouse is a brand-new Dubai Chocolate Cake! The cake delivers a fun take on the original Dubai chocolate bar, with layers of decadent chocolate cake and creamy pistachio filling and phyllo dough. As if that isn’t delicious enough, the cake is finished with a layer of rich chocolate ganache. For a chocolate lover, this dessert is the ultimate indulgence!
Each Dubai Chocolate Cake is $18.99 if purchased in-store. However, if you choose to order from Costco’s same-day delivery service, the price jumps to $21.55.
What is Dubai-style chocolate?
Dubai-style chocolate is all the rage lately, and that’s because it’s delicious! Dubai chocolate is a popular variety of chocolate bar that originated in—you guessed it—Dubai! It’s made up of shredded phyllo dough, also called knafeh, and pistachio filling, dipped in milk chocolate. People have fallen in love with Dubai chocolate because of the flavor combination and the unique texture, and that’s why you’re seeing it everywhere.
What are fans saying about the new cake?
Costco shoppers have been excited to get to their nearest stores to try out the new cake, but not everyone has been able to find it. Fans across the country have been reporting that it’s yet to arrive in their areas. “I called the Costco’s near me and they couldn’t find the item number in Southeast Michigan,” wrote one shopper on Instagram. “What states are getting these? Cali is def not,” wrote another. (We spotted it, available for same-day delivery, in the NYC metropolitan area.)
However, Costco members who have managed to try it are pretty excited, to say the least. “We got this, it’s very rich and delicious,” commented one Instagram user. “It’s sooooo good,” a second weighed in. “It was pretty damn good,” said a third.
How long will the Dubai-style chocolate cake be available?
If you want to get your hands on Costco’s Dubai-style chocolate cake, act fast! As is the case with most Costco products, there’s no telling exactly how long the Dubai-style chocolate cake will be available. Plus, it’s likely to sell out quickly, as Dubai chocolate is one of the most popular sweet treats of the year. Once it’s sold out, it’s unclear when it will be restocked, if at all.
What other Dubai-style chocolate products has Costco offered?
Over the last year or so, Costco has offered a well-rounded assortment of Dubai-style chocolate products that cater to all different types of snackers. Earlier this month, the big-box store released mini Dubai chocolate ice cream sandwiches, and recently shoppers have also spotted bags of mini Dubai chocolate bars at various locations. Costco has also been known to carry Dubai chocolate ice cream bars and mini cones filled with Dubai chocolate. One thing is for sure: There is no shortage of Dubai-style chocolate treats at Costco!
