decadent dubai chocolate inspired no bake rolls
if you love rich, chocolatey desserts with a hint of luxurious flavors, these no bake rolls will be your new favorite treat.
inspired by dubai’s famous chocolate and pistachio confections, these rolls combine deep cocoa flavor with a luscious pistachio date filling, all without the need for an oven.
they’re gluten-free, naturally sweetened, and incredibly indulgent.

taste & texture
these rolls are a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
the dough is rich, fudgy, and deeply chocolatey, with just the right amount of sweetness from maple syrup.
the filling is smooth, creamy, and naturally sweet from dates, with a hint of warm vanilla and fragrant cardamom.
the pistachio butter adds a nutty depth and a beautiful green color, making every bite taste like a luxurious treat from a middle eastern chocolate shop.
the inspiration: dubai chocolate & pistachio flavors
dubai is known for its high-end, gourmet chocolates often featuring a blend of rich cocoa, dates, and nuts.
pistachios, in particular, are a signature ingredient in many middle eastern sweets, adding both texture and an earthy, slightly sweet flavor.
these no bake rolls take inspiration from those flavors, combining high-quality cocoa, nut butter, and dates to create a dessert that feels both indulgent and wholesome.

how to make them
making these no bake rolls is simple and requires just a few steps:
- prepare the dough: in a food processor, combine oat flour, almond flour, cocoa powder, maple syrup, runny almond butter, and vanilla extract. blend until a thick dough forms. adjust consistency by adding dairy-free milk (if too dry) or oat flour (if too thin).
- roll it out: place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a large rectangle.
- make the filling: blend pistachio butter, dates, vanilla extract, cardamom, and a touch of coconut oil until smooth and spreadable. ensure it’s thick enough to hold its shape but smooth enough to spread.
- assemble: spread the pistachio date filling evenly over the dough, then carefully roll it into a log.
- chill & slice: freeze for 45 minutes until firm, then slice into individual rolls. let them thaw slightly before eating for the perfect texture.
substitutions
- nut-free version: replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour and swap almond and pistachio butter for tahini or sunflower seed butter.
- different sweeteners: swap maple syrup for date syrup or coconut nectar for a slightly different depth of flavor.
- flavor variations: add a touch of orange zest for a citrusy twist or a pinch of sea salt for extra contrast.

how to store
these rolls are best stored in the freezer for long-term freshness.
simply place them in an airtight container, and when ready to eat, allow them to thaw for a few minutes until they soften slightly.
they will also keep well in the fridge for up to a week.

Hi – Did you drizzle chocolate and sea salt on top of cut log rolls after? I’m seeing it in the photo but not in the recipe and trying to assess if I’m just overlooking a step or you just didn’t add it (I understand it would be optional). Thanks and I LOVE your recipes!
just did it for decorating purposes :)! yes, chocolate and sea salt. thank you so much!
