Dubai Chocolate Protein Iced Latte with Pistachio Milk

This indulgent, wellness-forward iced latte is inspired by the rising trend of Dubai Chocolate, a luxurious blend of deep cocoa notes, creamy pistachio filling and an exotic crunchy flair.

Made with Mocha Protein Iced Coffee (a high-quality instant coffee mix with whey protein), this layered drink combines pistachio milk, collagen cold foam and a sprinkle of toasted kadayif for a summer craving that’s equally functional and flavorful.

It’s rich, energizing, and designed to turn heads on social media, so you definitely don’t want to miss out on trying this recipe.

What’s Inside the Latte?

The most exciting element of this recipe is the new Bulletproof Mocha Protein Iced Coffee which is an enhanced instant coffee that includes MCT oil for added energy, 12 grams of whey protein per serving and twice the amount of caffeine than regular coffee. This powerhouse product is packed with benefits and easily comes together in seconds.

Like all Bulletproof products, it is tested for toxins and free of artificial flavors and sweeteners so you can feel good about the ingredients you’re consuming.

The chocolate mocha flavor is the base of the beverage which gets mixed with silky pistachio milk. It’s then layered with a creamy mocha collagen cold foam and garnished with crunchy bits of toasted kadayif and chopped pistachios.

This may be one of the most decadent drinks you’ll consume this summer, but the best part is that it also provides your body energy and protein as well as supporting the healthy growth of muscles, joints and ligaments.

What Is Dubai Chocolate?

Dubai chocolate has become a global sensation thanks to creators and influencers on TikTok. Its luxurious and unique flavor combination along with a drool-worthy aesthetic caused it to soar to the top of everyone’s social feed.

The thickly filled chocolate bar is a blend of Middle Eastern and Western flavors combining milk chocolate, creamy pistachio tahini filling, and a crunchy, toasted Philo dough called kadayif. It’s sometimes blended or infused with dates, rose, or cardamom flavors and is so rich that you only need a little taste to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Although the original form is a chocolate bar, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and businesses all over the world are taking the idea and inventing more creative ways to showcase the delicious flavor combo.

How to Make a Dubai Chocolate Protein Iced Latte

The rich and unique flavor combinations of Dubai chocolate pair perfectly with coffee and complement each other quite well. For an even more delicious looking drink, try swirling your cup with chocolate sauce before adding any ingredients to create an artsy line of delicious melting chocolate on the glass which eventually blends into the drink with time.

Customization Tips

Pistachio milk takes some planning ahead to make. We highly recommend making it the day before since it needs to soak for several hours. This step is crucial to get the most pistachio flavor, but there are other substitutions in case you’re tight on time.

A local store or online may sell pistachio butter, which is a sweetened pistachio paste that is sometimes combined with tahini or white chocolate. This can be blended and mixed with any type of milk to get a sweet pistachio milk that you can use in your recipe. If you’re cutting back on sugar, you can simply buy pistachio extract and add ? tsp to 8 oz of any milk of choice.

Kadayif may be hard to find as well. An alternative could be any kind of Philo dough that is diced or roughly chopped and toasted. You can also substitute for any pre-baked shortbread cookie (chopped) for a slightly different, but similar taste and effect.

Lastly, if you want a more exotic taste, feel free to add a pinch of cardamom or a teaspoon of rosewater to your drink before blending to get a more floral flavor incorporated and to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate.
