Aldi is bringing the popular Dubai Chocolate trend to the frozen aisle with the launch of the UK’s first Dubai Chocolate ice cream. The new product will hit shelves on April 14 and retail for £3.99 for a 500ml pot.
The supermarket is tapping into the craze with a frozen twist on the popular flavour. Dubai Chocolate ice cream combines rich chocolate with sweet, nutty pistachios. Aldi describes it as a “pistachio lover’s dream”. The ice cream also has a crunchy, wafer-like texture that matches the appeal of the original confectionery.
“Aldi offers customers high-quality, trend-setting products at unbeatable prices,” a spokesperson said. “Dubai Chocolate is one of the biggest food trends this year. We’re delighted to be the first UK supermarket to launch an ice cream version.”
Dubai Chocolate Goes Vira
lDubai Chocolate has become a social media sensation, racking up hundreds of millions of views on TikTok and creating a huge demand in UK supermarkets. Google searches for the term have surged, reaching 6.5 million in the past month alone. The original treat, a chocolate bar with pistachios and kanaf, has a huge following among UK consumers.
The viral appeal comes from its striking appearance, mouth-watering taste and Middle Eastern roots. Food influencers and TikTok creators have fueled the trend, sharing videos highlighting its rich fillings and crispy crust. These engaging videos spark curiosity among consumers, prompting them to rush to try the product.
Supermarkets impose purchase limits
Due to high demand, some retailers, including Lidl and Waitrose, have implemented purchase limits. To ensure fair distribution, customers can now only buy two bars per transaction. As Dubai Chocolate remains popular, Aldi’s ice cream version is expected to sell out quickly.
