Making Dubai Chocolate: Basic Process

1. Temper 200g chocolate (milk or dark) to working temperature
2. Pour into each mold cavity, swirl to coat walls, pour excess back
3. Let harden 10-15 min in fridge
4. Add Dubai chocolate filling: 100g pistachio cream + 50g toasted kataifi + 30g Soom tahini
5. Fill cavities halfway
6. Pour remaining tempered chocolate to seal
7. Refrigerate 1-2 hours
8. Remove from molds, wrap in plastic wrappers (included)

Yield: 6 bars per batch. Each bar ~80-100g finished weight.

What's Good

• 6-cavity produces proper bakery-size bars
• 0.6" depth creates right chocolate:filling ratio
• Food-grade silicone (no chemical leaching)
• Dishwasher safe
• 100 wrappers included (enough for ~17 batches)
• Scraper helps with surface finishing
• Bars release cleanly from silicone

What's Compromised

• Not BPA-free certified (check product listing)
• Silicone can stain over time
• Basic wrapper quality (not professional foil)
• Mold size limits you to one bar shape
• No thermometer included (you need one for tempering)

Tempering Chocolate Primer

For best results:

1. Melt chocolate to 115-118°F
2. Cool to 80°F (add unmelted chocolate or cool on counter)
3. Re-warm to working temp: 88°F (dark), 86°F (milk), 84°F (white)
4. Pour immediately

FAQ

What thermometer should I use? Thermapen ONE (our review). Budget: Lavatools Javelin.
