Chef Annil shares a clever, lighter take on the viral Dubai chocolate trend. Instead of using high-calorie kataifi pastry, this guilt-free version uses crushed Weet-Bix mixed with creamy hazelnut spread. The mixture is wrapped around a fresh strawberry inside a piece of soft, chewy Vietnamese rice paper, then finished with a generous dusting of cocoa powder. It delivers the signature crunchy, chocolatey, and chewy texture with a fraction of the calories, making it a perfect quick fix for sweet cravings.
