How to Make Dubai Chocolate Strawberry Cups

Step 1: Prepare the Chocolate Ganache

Break the milk chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl. You can either use a microwave or a double boiler method.

Once the chocolate has melted completely, add the heavy cream and butter. Stir everything together until the mixture becomes smooth, glossy, and creamy.

Set it aside for a few minutes so it can cool slightly.

Step 2: Prepare the Strawberries

Wash the strawberries properly and slice them into thin pieces.

Place them into a bowl and sprinkle sugar over the top. Let them sit for a few minutes so the strawberries release their natural juices and become extra flavorful.

This step makes the strawberry layer taste fresh, juicy, and slightly syrupy.

Step 3: Prepare the Crunch Layer

Crush the chocolate biscuits into fine crumbs.

If you’re using kunafa strands, lightly toast them in a pan with a little butter until they turn golden brown and crispy. Mix the toasted kunafa with crushed pistachios for extra crunch and flavor.

This crunchy layer adds the perfect texture to balance the creamy chocolate filling.

Step 4: Assemble the Dessert Cups

Take transparent serving cups so the beautiful layers can be seen clearly.

Start layering the ingredients in this order:

  1. Crunch layer

  2. Chocolate ganache

  3. Strawberry slices

  4. Another chocolate layer

  5. Pistachio topping

You can repeat the layers depending on the size of your dessert cups.

The layers make these dessert cups look elegant and bakery-style.

Step 5: Decorate & Chill

Decorate the top with:

  • chocolate drizzle,

  • fresh strawberry slices,

  • chocolate syrup,

  • and crushed pistachios.

Place the dessert cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Serve chilled for the best taste and creamy texture.
