This is the Iced Pistachio Dark Chocolate ($8.90, +$1.00 for large) from Godiva, positioned as a drink inspired by Dubai-style chocolate. It combined a classic Godiva dark chocolate base with a pistachio cream, finished with crushed pistachio and feuilletine flakes.
The beverage presented a layered gradient: a deep brown chocolate base transitioning to a pale tan, topped with a light green pistachio cream scattered with feuilletine flakes. On tasting ,the pistachio offered a mellow, savoury nuttiness that cut through and rounded out the richness of the dark chocolate. The chocolate itself remained clearly defined, offering depth and intensity with a more restrained sweetness than a milk chocolate base. Small pieces of crushed pistachio contributed intermittent texture and bursts of concentrated nut flavour, although the feuilletine softened quickly and became slick rather than crisp. The overall mouthfeel was smooth and creamy throughout.
Overall, while the drink acknowledged the complexity of pistachio and its natural affinity with quality dark chocolate, the execution felt subdued, resulting in a beverage that was technically sound but ultimately unengaging.
This Iced Pistacchio Dark Chocolate was purchased from Godiva in Sydney, Australia in December 2025.
