IT’S NEVER KUNAFA: THE VIRAL DUBAI CHOCOLATE SHAKE HAS JUST HIT LONDON AND IT’S A MONSTER

The Dubai chocolate craze has taken over social media, and now, it’s been taken one step further and supersized. Like, really supersized.

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beer, known globally for its outrageously massive CrazyShakes®, has unveiled its latest creation: The Dubai Chocolate & Pistachio CrazyShake® – a dessert so extravagant, it’s practically a meal in itself.

Launching on 6 May 2025 at Black Tap Soho and Westfield Stratford, the limited-edition shake is the brand’s biggest, most over-the-top UK drop yet. It’s huge. It’s green. It’s unapologetic. And it’s primed to go viral.

Here’s what’s packed into the glass:

  • An extra-thick vanilla shake swirled with sweet pistachio cream

  • A chocolate-dipped rim, rolled in sweet toasted kunafa and crushed pistachios

  • A literal mountain of whipped cream

  • An entire slice of pistachio and chocolate mousse cake; yes, a whole slice of cake

  • And perched proudly on top: a massive chunk of Dubai Chocolate

  • Finished with zig-zag chocolate drizzle and pistachio-kunafa crumble

This isn’t just a milkshake, it’s a full chocolate pistachio paradise. This CrazyShake® is the kind of creation that demands a photo before your first sip.

With over 120 million views on TikTok, the Dubai chocolate trend has already inspired supermarket sell-outs, viral recipes and fan-led brand battles. Now, Black Tap is throwing its shake into the ring, and doing what it does best, going bigger.

Chris Barish, co-founder of Black Tap, said: 

“We’ve always been best known for our wild CrazyShakes, and we couldn’t miss the opportunity to turn the latest sweet treat trend into the ultimate shake. Sometimes the best ideas come from listening to what our customers are loving, and giving it a full-on Black Tap twist.”
