Dubai is indeed a foodie’s paradise. Name any cuisine and it has left its indelible mark in Dubai. But while we have been exploring the myriad cuisines of Dubai, let’s not forget the humble dessert. Desserts - whether you crave sweet with a hint of savoury, decadent or healthy, Dubai has all these and lots more. When the sweet tooth comes knocking, try these luscious desserts in Dubai.
Its founder Hind Abdullah has taken her love for baking and making sinful desserts to another level. The sheer love that she puts in her creations has earned her the reputation of being one of the foremost queens of desserts. Her irresistible creations bring her customers a lot of happiness. The creations range from cookies, cronuts, pies and loafs. The recipes are a successful amalgamation of local ingredients and international flavours which are what make the desserts very unique. Try her signature chewy melt or her pistachio rehash cake. The cotton candy here is truly amazing made of vanilla cream, a strawberry jam chiffon cake and topped off with strawberries and a coulis. Absolutely divine!
Jarful does delicious and sensational desserts in a jar with aplomb. We are very impressed with the variety of cake flavours that are on offer like peanut butter, banoffee pie, carrot cake with a divine cream cheese frosting, red velvet and many others. They also do catering for birthday parties specialising in kiddie treats. A minimum order of 12 jars placed 24 hours in advance could have your kiddie party rocking. If you are craving for something sweet on the move just carry this tiny portable jar in your purse and chomp along as you drive.
If you are residing in Dubai and you have not yet tried this exquisite Milas Kunafa, you are missing something big time. The Milas Kunafa is the Emirati version of a red velvet cake recreated to hit just the right taste buds of the local residents. The outer cake is red, biscuity, crumbly, crisp and contains a divine melt in the mouth cream inside. It’s enough to deliver a high octane sweet rush to the brain. We highly recommend!
Sanjeev Kapoor, the man behind Indian Fine dining has now come to Dubai with his restaurant Signature attaining rave reviews. If you plan to go to this remarkable ‘Indian Concept’ restaurant, try out their vast array of sumptuous desserts especially the Electric Kulfi. The dish comprises of the famed Indian Kulfi with modern techniques. The kulfi is deep fried to perfection from the outside and has popping candy inside to give you a blast of cold sweetness and an explosive surprise. Very awe inspiring!
Michelin starred Indian Chef Vineet Bhatia has added another of his formidable twists of taste by recreating the samosa into a chocolatey haven. The chocolate samosa is a deliciously melt in the mouth filo pastry stuffed with a finger-licking, spiced chocolate sauce. It’s served with quenelles of ice cream. Try it for a heaven and back experience.
With unparalleled views of the Dubai fountain as well as the Burj Khalifa, it sets the scene for a truly phenomenal dessert experience. The White Chocolate Matcha surprise brings all the theatrics of fine dining drama right to your table. It comes to you as an intact smooth white chocolate sphere till a deliciously warm Matcha sauce is poured on top of it. Lo and behold, as it cracks open, a deliciously exotic strawberry sorbet is revealed inside. The combination of flavours is radical but delightful on the palate.
Dough’sant is what you call a cronut. A cronut is a cross between a croissant and a doughnut but a sinful creation nonetheless. ChikaLicious at Dubai has nailed these mouth-watering creations to perfection. The cronut here has a honey glazed golden crust with a smooth and sweet vanilla cream filling. Be there early to get your hands on it as it tends to sell out fast.
It’s a genius at play here. The new breakfast event in Dubai called as break slow at Flow kitchen includes a mind boggling dessert where every component looks like a plate of traditional English breakfast. It looks savoury but is actually sweet. So the egg fry up is actually a vanilla panacotta with a passion fruit curd while the raspberry and nutella French toast resemble hash browns. Top notch thinking chefs! We bow to you.
