Ingredients You Need To Make Dubai Chocolate Fudge
For Fudge Base
- Chocolate: To make Dubai chocolate Fudge, you need 2 cups of good brand chocolate. The Original Dubai chocolate is made with milk chocolate, but you can use dark, milk, or white chocolate according to your preference and availability in your area. Here I am using dark chocolate to make these fudges.
- Condensed Milk: 1.5 cups sweetened condensed milk of any brand or homemade.
- Butter: 20 g of butter is enough to make the Dubai chocolate fudge base shinier and smoother.
- Vanilla extract: Adding 1 tsp Vanilla extract can enhance the fudge flavor.
For the Pistachio Kataifi Filling:
- Kunafa Vermicelli: Although kataifi pastry is the signature ingredient of Viral Dubai Chocolate, it is not easy to get everywhere, and I am one of those who did not get that in my area. So, if you can get Kataifi, it is best, but if not, use the Kunafa special vermicelli, which is easily available on Amazon. Take 2 cups crushed by hand.
- Butter: 3 tbsp of butter is needed to fluff the vermicelli or Kataifi.
- Pistachio Spread: To make Kataifi Pistachio Filling, you need any brand of pistachio spread available on Amazon or at an easy-to-reach store. If you want to make Pistachio cream from scratch, check out this best recipe.
