Jollibee is introducing Pistachio Choco Sundae, a limited-edition Christmas dessert created by Chef Nouel Catis, whose creations include the famous Dubai chocolate phenomenon.
"Christmas is a time when people look forward to experiences that make the season more special," said Dorothy Ching, VP for Marketing at Jollibee Philippines. "At Jollibee, we want to bring that joy through both the food our customers love and new flavors that surprise and delight them. Partnering with Chef Nouel gives us a chance to offer something new this Christmas while celebrating Filipino culinary talent on the global stage."
Chef Nouel is recognized for his works in the chocolate confectionery, including the Dubai chocolate phenomenon that helped popularized chocolate and pistachio flavors worldwide.
He was also named as Emerging Global Filipino Icon by The Global Filipino Magazine and received a Service Excellence Award in Culinary Innovations in Dubai where he is based.
"We see Chef Nouel as a partner in our mission to bring joy to Filipinos and people around the world through food. By bringing his culinary expertise together with a Jollibee favorite, we hope to give our customers a new way to enjoy flavors they love and discover something different this Christmas," added Ching.
“I was so happy when Jollibee reached out to me. I grew up loving Jollibee, so I never imagined that one day, I’d get to work with a brand that’s been part of my childhood. After the Dubai chocolate experience, it’s exciting to be doing something like this with Jollibee, especially for Christmas,” said Catis. “As a Filipino, it makes me proud to be part of something that can bring joy to people here at home and hopefully introduce more people around the world to the creativity and talent of Filipinos.”
The collaboration brings Catis’s culinary expertise to Jollibee’s annual Christmas sundae offering. The Pistachio Choco Sundae features creamy vanilla soft serve coated in a pistachio shell, topped with chocolate syrup and diced pistachios.
Priced at ₱79, the dessert will be available nationwide from October 16 to
December 31 through Jollibee dine-in, takeout, drive-thru and delivery via
GrabFood and foodpanda.
