Aldi just dropped the dessert of the summer — and it costs less than a fancy coffee. Starting today, June 17, Aldi stores nationwide are stocking the all-new Specially Selected Multilayer Gelato in Dubai Style Chocolate for just $3.99. Yes, the viral Dubai chocolate trend has officially arrived in the freezer aisle, and it is absolutely magnificent.
If you have been living under a rock: Dubai chocolate — famously featuring layers of knafeh pastry, pistachio cream, and rich chocolate — took the internet by storm and now commands absurd prices at specialty stores. Aldi’s version turns it into a premium multilayer gelato packed with chopped pistachios and pistachio sauce, and it rings up for a fraction of what you’d pay elsewhere. This is the Aldi magic we know and love.
Three Flavors, One Wild Freezer Aisle
The new Specially Selected Multilayer Gelato lineup launches in three flavors today:
- Dubai Style Chocolate — chopped pistachios and pistachio sauce layered through rich chocolate gelato
- Salted Caramel Peanut Crunch — sweet, salty, and wildly snackable
- Mint Chocolate — a classic elevated with gelato’s creamy, dense texture
All three are priced at $3.99 per pint. But as with every great Aldi Find, these are limited time — once they sell out, they are gone. Aldi operates on a treasure hunt model, and this is about as good as the treasure gets.
“Dubai Style Chocolate gelato at Aldi for $3.99 — this is the crossover event of the year.”
Why Dubai Chocolate Is Still a Big Deal
The Dubai chocolate craze kicked off when a pistachio-filled chocolate bar from Fix Dessert Chocolatier in Dubai went viral on TikTok and Instagram. What makes it so special is the combination of crunchy kataifi pastry, intensely nutty pistachio cream, and high-quality chocolate — a textural and flavor experience unlike anything else. Seeing Aldi bring this flavor profile into a gelato format is genuinely exciting, and at $3.99 it’s the most accessible version we’ve seen yet.
