Okay, dessert lovers, stop whatever you’re doing. Querida in Al Barsha, yes, the cheeky Mexican spot known for homestyle flavours and its colourful hacienda vibe, just dropped something that might break Instagram. Meet Elote De Cosecha. At first glance, this dessert looks like a perfectly grilled corn-on-the-cob. Honestly, I almost reached for a fork before thinking, “Wait a second… this is Dubai, not a street in Mexico.”
Querida Dubai’s New Dessert Is Totally Not What It Seems
Here’s the kicker: it’s not corn. Nope. The “kernels” are actually a silky, sweet corn custard shell. And inside? Oozy triple chocolate cake that practically begs to be devoured.
Then comes the drizzle: glossy vanilla custard, tangy sweet-and-sour sauce, and a delicate roll in coconut flakes. It looks like corn. Tastes like chocolate heaven. Truth be told, it’s the kind of dessert that makes you pause, stare, snap a photo, maybe even text your friends: “You have to see this.”
Corn-on-the-cob dessert? Or Something Much Better?
Let’s be honest, Dubai has plenty of “look-at-me” desserts. But this one? It’s playful, it’s indulgent, and it sneaks in surprises like a good plot twist. Each bite dances between creamy, tangy, and chocolatey, and you can’t help but grin when the reality hits: you’re eating chocolate disguised as corn.
Come on, we all know presentation is half the fun. And Querida nailed it, from the farm-fresh look to the mischievous wink of “haha, fooled you.”
The Dessert Everyone Will Be Talking About
Whether you’re hunting the next viral foodie hit or just love a quirky treat, Dulce Elote delivers. It’s limited, too, only five servings a day. So yes, you might need to plan ahead or risk heartbreak.
In practice, this isn’t just a dessert. It’s theatre. A tiny edible performance. And let’s face it: desserts that make you pause, question reality, and then sigh in delight? That’s the kind worth lining up for.
Querida’s done it again. Bold, playful, and a little bit mischievous, this dessert isn’t just something to eat; it’s an experience. One bite, one photo, and you’ll understand why Dubai foodies are already obsessed.
