Sweet tooth warriors, listen up! If there’s a paradise for dessert lovers then it is Dubai! And this is 100% true for those who want their sugar fix sprinkled with creativity all over it. If you’re tired of the usual chocolate cake or predictable tiramisu, it’s time to buckle up! We’re taking you on a dessert drive (pun totally intended!) that showcases some of the quirky desserts that you must try in Dubai.
1. Lava Cake
If your FYP on Tiktok looks anything like mine, you would probably have seen this Lava Cake that was trending in Kuwait. The best part is that you can now get your hands on it right here in Dubai! This Lava Cake from lavacake.ae is so decadently rich, that I think it should come with a warning label. Slice into this marvel and watch the gooey overflow of chocolate. Why just watch? Dive into this melty masterpiece and each bite promises you an explosion of rich chocolate.

2. Baby Dynamite
Whoever said great things come in small packages was definitely talking about this dynamite of a dessert from Chocomelt. The Baby Dynamite is the perfect blend of crispy, chocolatey goodness, hyped up just the right amount (because isn’t that what the ‘gram is for?). This bite-sized delight layers moist and gooey brownie with chocolate fudge, peanut butter caramel ice cake, and vanilla ice cream, all drenched in warm milk chocolate. Now that’s what I call a flavor bomb!

This unique fusion of tradition and indulgence comes in three varieties: Dark chocolate fudge cake topped with French chocolate, Kunafa mix with signature pistachio sauce as well as a Belgian Chocolate version.
