A Sydney dessert bar has introduced a saccharin equivalent of the doner kebab, complete with a rotating white and milk chocolate rotisserie, which is shaved as it spins.
Dulwich Hill’s Tella Balls Dessert Bar, which is best known for their over-the-top doughnut-topped tella ball milkshakes, is calling their new creation the “tellabab”.
This extravagant Nutella-filled kebab is made using a homemade donut pita bread which is then filled with milk and white chocolate shavings from a 13 kilogram log on a custom-made rotisserie, fresh strawberries, fresh banana, homemade whipped cream and an obligatory swipe of Nutella.
Speaking to Stuff.co.nz, cafe owner Aki Daikos said that the chocolate shawarma is a huge food trend in the United Arab Emirates, and that he believes he and business partner Simon Kappatos are the first people to start making the kebabs in Australia
“I have a Greek background, so growing up as kid, we always ate yiros and that kind of thing,” he said.
“It’s always been a dream of mine to create a dessert version. A 360 degree view of that chocolate log just turning is amazing.”
