Crispy, Gooey, Chocolate-Filled Heaven
Meet your new favorite excuse to eat dessert for breakfast: the Dubai chocolate waffle sandwich. A little crunchy, a little melty, a whole lot of chocolate—and somehow, still packed with protein.

Why You’ll Love this Dubai Chocolate Waffle Sandwich
This stuffed waffle sandwich is what happens when crispy golden waffle meets pistachio-studded crunch and silky ganache. The magic starts with toasted shredded filo folded into rich pistachio paste—imagine that buttery nutty flavor layered inside your waffle, like a hidden gem. The batter itself? Light, quick, and simple. Just enough structure to hold all that goodness together.
Then comes the ganache. Melted chocolate swirled with a splash of milk until smooth and spoonable. Slather it on one side of your freshly cooked waffle, pile on the pistachio filling, fold it closed, and press it back into the iron for those golden, crispy edges. The result is a warm, oozy Dubai chocolate waffle that’s crunchy on the outside, gooey in the middle, and ridiculously satisfying in every single bite.
Think pistachio waffle meets chocolate lava cake, in waffle sandwich form. Perfect for impressing your taste buds any day of the week—no sharing required.
