A Dubai waffle is a waffle topped or filled with flavors associated with Dubai chocolate, especially pistachio cream and crisp shredded pastry. There is no single standard recipe, so the filling and toppings vary between cafés and homemade versions.
A Dubai waffle combines waffle batter with a rich pistachio-and-crispy-pastry filling inspired by Dubai chocolate. A regular waffle may have fruit, syrup, or other toppings, while this version is defined by that nutty, crunchy combination.
Cook waffle batter in a waffle maker, then top or fill the waffle with pistachio cream and toasted shredded pastry. Add chocolate if you like. For the crunchiest result, keep the pastry separate and add it just before serving.
Not necessarily. A Dubai waffle is usually inspired by Dubai chocolate’s pistachio-and-crispy-pastry filling, but recipes often use those ingredients separately rather than adding a bar of Dubai chocolate. Check how the waffle is assembled if you need a particular version.
The filling can run out of a Dubai waffle if it is overfilled or the pistachio cream becomes too warm and loose. Use a moderate amount, leave a border around the waffle, and let freshly melted chocolate cool slightly before assembling.
Dubai waffles commonly use thin shredded pastry, often called kataifi or kadayif, toasted until crisp. It is mixed with pistachio cream for the signature crunchy filling; the exact pastry and preparation can vary by recipe.
Yes, store-bought waffle batter works for a Dubai waffle. Cook it according to its directions, then add the pistachio cream and crisp pastry. The filling is what gives the dessert its Dubai-chocolate-inspired character, not a special type of batter.
You can prepare the components ahead, but assemble a Dubai waffle close to serving. Keeping the toasted pastry separate from the pistachio cream helps it stay crunchy, while waffle batter is best cooked fresh for a crisp exterior.
Store leftover Dubai waffle in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it by the next day for best quality. The filling will soften the waffle and pastry as it sits, so keep any extra toasted pastry separate when possible.
A plain coffee or unsweetened tea pairs well with a Dubai waffle because it balances the rich pistachio and chocolate flavors. Fresh strawberries or banana also work as a topping, though they make the dessert sweeter and less crunchy.

A Dubai waffle is a contemporary dessert inspired by Dubai chocolate. It typically combines a freshly cooked waffle with pistachio cream, crisp strands of toasted kataifi pastry and chocolate, either layered on top or tucked inside. Toppings and fillings vary from one café to another.
It is usually served as an indulgent café treat, often alongside coffee or shared as dessert. The contrast of crisp waffle edges, a soft centre and rich, crunchy filling makes it especially sweet and substantial: it provides 338 kcal per 100 g. If you’d like a lighter portion, share one or ask for less sauce; fresh fruit makes a good accompaniment.
