Filipino chef behind Dubai chocolate phenomenon teams up with Jollibee for Christmas
Jollibee is partnering with Filipino pastry chef and culinary innovator Nouel Catis, whose work is associated with the global Dubai chocolate phenomenon, to introduce the Pistachio Choco Sundae, a limited-edition Christmas dessert that brings a globally popular flavor combination to a familiar Filipino favorite.
“Christmas is a time when people look forward to experiences that make the
season more special. At Jollibee, we want to bring that joy through both the
food our customers love and new flavors that surprise and delight them,” said
Dorothy Ching, vice president for marketing of Jollibee Philippines.
"Partnering with Chef Nouel gives us a chance to offer something new this
Christmas while celebrating Filipino culinary talent on the global stage."
Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Catis is recognized for his work in the
chocolate confectionery space, particularly the Dubai chocolate phenomenon that
helped popularize the combination of chocolate and pistachio flavors among
consumers worldwide.
His work has also received recognition, including being named an Emerging
Global Filipino Icon by The Global Filipino Magazine and receiving a Service
Excellence Award in Culinary Innovation in Dubai.
“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,” Ching
added.
“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.
The partnership reflects Jollibee’s continuing effort to create new food
experiences for customers during the holiday season, combining familiar
favorites with fresh flavors while celebrating Filipino talent whose work has
reached international audiences.
