Dubai Chocolate Craze Hits Tenerife with Ducí's Pangoccioli

The Dubai chocolate craze has arrived in Tenerife, thanks to Ducí ice cream shop! This popular spot in Candelaria is wowing customers with their amazing pangoccioli, stuffed with the sweet treat that's all over TikTok. It's the perfect excuse to visit one of the island's best ice cream shops.

Pangoccioli are yummy Italian milk buns with chocolate chips, a real classic in Italy. They have a light, crispy outside and a super soft and fluffy inside. Italians usually enjoy them for breakfast or as a snack, and every region has its own special version.

Originally, pangoccioli didn't have any filling, but Italian bakers have gotten creative over the years, adding all sorts of delicious toppings. That's exactly what the chefs at Ducí have done with their latest creation.

This Candelaria bakery is launching a new version inspired by Middle Eastern flavors. It features pistachio Nutella, kataif pastry, and chocolate chips – a combination that's already a hit with anyone who loves sweets!

Ducí's talented bakers have once again surprised us with a treat that blends the best of Italy and Dubai. Their famous pangoccioli have been updated with a recipe that's sure to be a new favorite.

In a video on social media, their head baker shows off the new recipe, which combines chocolate with a hazelnut and pistachio mix, plus crispy kataif pastry (a traditional Arab pastry). It's all topped with classic chocolate chips, creating a soft inside and a crunchy outside.

The result is a sweet that's "soft and crunchy, and so delicious you won't believe it!"
