But don’t worry; if you miss it in SF, it’s heading to New York City on March 22. Chocolate lovers, mark your calendars—you won’t want to miss this indulgent experience!
Ghirardelli’s sweet new creation
Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is turning heads with the launch of a new, limited-time treat: the Dubai Chocolate Sundae. Inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate trend, this sundae will be available only on March 8, 2025, at Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco. It’s a one-day-only indulgence that promises to blend Ghirardelli’s classic rich hot fudge with the bold flavors of pistachio butter and white chocolate.
But wait—there’s more! This sundae also features kataifi (shredded phyllo dough) for that extra crunch and texture, and it’s topped off with a gold-leafed Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel Square. Talk about indulgence!
“As a brand rooted in crafting unforgettable chocolate experiences, we are excited to bring this special creation to our flagship location in San Francisco. The Dubai Chocolate Sundae is the best of Ghirardelli tradition while bringing a fresh take on the latest viral sensation.” Lacey Zane, Vice President of Restaurant & Retail at Ghirardelli Chocolate Company.
Ghirardelli’s Dubai Sundae
The inspiration for the Dubai Chocolate Sundae comes from Sarah Hamouda, the founder of Dubai-based Fix Dessert Chocolatier. Hamouda’s pistachio chocolate became an internet sensation, and Ghirardelli’s team decided to put their own spin on it—enter the sundae!
