The Ghirardelli Dubai Style Chocolate Sundae is making its nationwide debut in the US to offer consumers an alternative, elevated way to enjoy the viral chocolate. The sundae starts off with vanilla ice cream topped with Ghirardelli hot fudge that's handmade before being topped with pistachio butter and toasted kataifi with touches of white chocolate and sea salt to round out the flavor. The sundae is then finished with whipped cream, a drizzle of caramel and a Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Caramel SQUARE.
Vice President of Restaurant & Retail Lacey Zane spoke on the Ghirardelli Dubai Style Chocolate Sundae saying, "At Ghirardelli, we're always looking for ways to create memorable, one-of-a-kind experiences for our guests. The Dubai Style Chocolate Sundae gave us a special opportunity to do just that—an indulgent, flavorful dessert that feels especially perfect for the season. After selling out in San Francisco and New York and becoming a top performer during our soft launch, we're thrilled to now offer it to guests nationwide."
