Shake Shack’s Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake options a cup lined with a crackly, darkish chocolate magic shell stuffed with a mix of vanilla frozen custard, milk, pistachio paste, salted honey, and toasted shredded phyllo dough (AKA kataifi or kadayif), then topped with extra toasted shredded phyllo dough and chopped pistachios.
The limited-time shake is just obtainable at choose places in New York Metropolis, the Miami space, and Los Angeles County, and solely in restricted portions every day. I paid $8.49 for one, and it took me two makes an attempt to get it (they solely make about 25 of the shakes every day and run out one or two hours after opening). I used to be informed by the supervisor that he did not even get to attempt it.
My specific shake was fairly liquid and wasn’t chilly sufficient to maintain the darkish chocolate stable to crack. I attempted scraping off the chocolate layer, however it was fairly skinny besides alongside the underside, the place I used to be lastly capable of get an excellent style of it. The sampling that I managed provided a wealthy and full-bodied darkish chocolate taste.
The shake itself sported the style of creamy vanilla with very gentle notes of pistachio. The kadayif added a crispy texture, particularly on prime. The style of the kadayif jogged my memory of shredded wheat cereal, besides barely richer and with a powerful toasty word. You actually need a spoon to take pleasure in it, although (or not less than a wider straw).
Whereas I loved Shake Shack’s Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake, it appeared like a work-in-progress (which it may be). It may do with a bolder pistachio part and a much less gimmicky chocolate side (chocolate chips or shards would most likely do the trick).
