Pistachio Easter eggs: where to buy the hottest chocolate trend this spring

Forget the traditional milk chocolate Easter egg. Fuelled by the Dubai chocolate trend, nutty, crunchy pistachio treats are taking centre stage at the moment.

Whether you’re looking for a little bit of luxury or a budget-friendly option from the supermarket, there’s a huge variety of pistachio Easter eggs to choose from in 2026.

You’ll find them filled with pistachio praline, swirled with pistachio cream or sprinkled with crushed pistachios. But to be considered 'proper' Dubai chocolate, the mix must include velvety pistachio cream, toasted tahini and crispy kataifi pastry.

Here’s where you can find pistachio-flavoured and Dubai chocolate Easter eggs.

What is ‘Dubai chocolate’?

Dubai chocolate is a pistachio-flavoured treat that caused a stir on Instagram and TikTok. 

Inspired by Middle Eastern flavours, it usually involves a milk-chocolate casing filled with pistachio cream, kataifi (a type of shredded filo pastry, also known as kadayif) and tahini (a sesame paste). It’s crunchy, sweet and nutty with a bright green interior. 

What is Dubai chocolate – and is it worth the hype (or the money)?

What’s the difference between pistachio praline and pistachio cream?

Pistachio praline has a deeper, nuttier flavour and a grittier texture than pistachio cream, which is mild, sweet and smooth. 

That’s largely because pistachio praline is made by melting sugar into a caramel and mixing it with toasted pistachios, which hardens into a brittle, then blending it into a paste. 

Pistachio cream, on the other hand, is essentially a white-chocolate ganache or a milk-based spread flavoured with pistachio.
