Ghirardelli is Releasing a Dubai-Chocolate Inspired Treat – For ONE DAY Only!

Ghirardelli is set to unveil its limited-edition Dubai Chocolate Sundae, a decadent treat that marries traditional Middle Eastern flavors with classic American indulgence. This exclusive dessert will be available for one day only at two iconic locations: March 8 at Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco and March 22 at their Empire State Building store in New York City. ​

The inspiration behind this sundae traces back to 2023 when a TikTok video showcasing the "Can't Get Knafeh of It" chocolate bar by Dubai's Fix Dessert Chocolatier went viral, amassing over 114 million views. This chocolate bar featured a unique blend of milk and dark chocolate filled with crispy knafeh, pistachio cream, and tahini, sparking a global craze for Dubai-inspired chocolates. ​

Not one to miss out on a trend, Ghirardelli's rendition features a sumptuous combination of pistachio butter, white chocolate, and crispy kataifi—a shredded phyllo dough. This delightful mixture is layered with creamy vanilla ice cream and drizzled with their signature handmade hot fudge. To top it all off, a gold-leafed Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Square, whipped cream, and caramel sauce add the final touches to this luxurious sundae.

Chocolate aficionados and adventurous eaters alike should mark their calendars and set their alarms. With such a limited release, these sundaes are expected to attract significant attention. Whether you're a local or planning a sweet escape to San Francisco or New York City, this is one treat you won't want to miss.​
