NYC: 16 Handles To Serve Dubai Chocolate Frozen Yogurt Starting Next Week; Limited-Time Only!

Move over vanilla, there’s a new scoop stealing the spotlight. Following Shake Shack’s Dubai Chocolate shake chaos, another NYC icon is riding the flavour wave – camel not included. That’s right – 16 Handles is launching its own Dubai Chocolate frozen yoghurt starting Wednesday, April 16, and it’s got all the flavour of the Middle East with the flair of the Big Apple. So, what’s all the fuss about? Why is everyone suddenly craving Dubai in a cone? Let’s break it down (and dig in).

This isn’t your average swirl. Think creamy pistachio base (we’re talking rich, smooth, melt-in-your-mouth stuff) swirled with hints of cocoa and speckled with milk chocolate bites..

If you like your frozen treats extra and who doesn’t? 16 Handles suggests loading it up with hazelnut bits, crispy rice, and a generous drizzle of fudge. Yes, we just drooled a little. No shame.

Now, don’t expect this delight to stick around forever. Like all good things, Dubai Chocolate Froyo is a limited-time offering. And based on how NYC reacted to the Shake Shack version, this one’s going to fly out of the freezers faster than you can say “extra fudge, please.”

16 Handles Isn’t New To The Flavour Game

While Dubai Chocolate may be the headline act right now, 16 Handles has been flavour-forward for years. From their bold french fry froyo (yes, it happened) to international stars like Kulfi and Mango Lassi, they know how to turn desserts into global experiences.

Started in the East Village back in 2008 by Solomon Choi, 16 Handles claimed the crown as NYC’s first self-serve frozen dessert shop. Fast forward to today, and they’ve expanded across the U.S., but that experimental, funky, fearless energy still runs deep in every swirl.

The best bit? 16 Handles’s Dubai Chocolate froyo will cost you around $6 for a small-size cup. Although, the price depends on how wild you get with the toppings. Medium and large run around $9 and $12, respectively, not bad for a trip to Dubai without a passport.
