Christmas market hype: Dubai delicacies conquer Berlin!
A new trend is conquering the Berlin Christmas markets: Dubai style! The hype around the extravagant treats has found its way into the capital. As B.Z. , there are delicious curd balls at the Christmas market on Alexanderplatz, which is fried and refined with a seductive chocolate sauce and pistachio-Sirup. For four pieces, gourmets have to put a proud 12 euros on the table - a significant increase in price compared to the traditional variants. But that doesn't seem to bother anyone! The visitors who willingly immerse themselves in the new tastes are enthusiastic.
On Dorothea Schlegel-Platz is another hit high: Hot Dubai chocolate, which is refined with a tasty pistachio cream leak. As wdr , this drink, which comes up with 17 percent alcohol, brings the hearts of Christmas market goers to melt. And for 6 euros per cup, the drink is a trendy pleasure in the cold season. For the sweet tooths there are also dubai almonds that are covered with chocolate and pistachio cream-but here too the price with 8 euros for 100 grams goes up. Customers stand in line and are happy about the rustic sweets.
Dubai chocolate and their roots
Another reason for the trend is the Dubai chocolate, which is currently causing a sensation in Berlin shops. The delicacy created by Sarah Hamouda in Dubai is very popular and is not only expensive, but also in demand. According to the WDR, it is prepared from a mixture of whole milk chocolate, pistachio cream, sesammusz (tahini) and dough threads that make the chocolate crispy. First of all, made known in December 2023 by a viral TICTOK clip by Food Influencer Maria Vehera, the hype has now spread like a running fire and even led to a kind of smuggling when the customs caught a delivery van with 45 kilograms of the coveted chocolate.
whether the candy will soon also conquer the Christmas market in Berlin? One thing is certain: the Dubai hype has just started and the Berliners are ready to dig deep into their pockets for the culinary experience!
