Costa Coffee is launching new summer menu including tiramisu-inspired drinks
The first new addition from Costa is a new Tiramisu Frappe which is inspired by the classic dessert, and the second is the Tiramisu Iced Whipped Latte Costa Coffee has announced its new summer menu - and it includes a range of tiramisu-inspired drinks. The first is a new Tiramisu Frappe which is inspired by the classic dessert. Described by Costa as 'luxuriously creamy', this Frappe blends coffee with a tiramisu-inspired sauce, topped with light whip and cocoa dusting. There is also a Tiramisu Iced Whipped Latte which features the same tiramisu-flavour sauce, topped with velvety whipped coffee. Previously an exclusive to Costa Club members, the Vanilla Lavender Iced Whipped Latte is also joining the main menu for a limited time. This floral blend is made with vanilla lavender-flavour sauce with whipped coffee. Costa fans will also be able to try three new iced Refresher drinks in Strawberry, Watermelon and Mint and Dragon Fruit and Guava. There are also some new drinks available in select retailers and Costa Express machines. The new Ready-to-Drink Tiramisu Frappe is exclusive in selected Asda stores until May 22 and in selected Boots stores until May 12, but will be available in Costa stores nationwide later this month. You'll also find a new Pistachio Latte and Iced Pistachio Latte exclusively at Costa Express machines nationwide. In terms of food, Costa is adding a new Gluten Free Mozzarella and Pesto Toastie with Roasted Pepper Sauce to its menu in selected stores. This features gooey mozzarella and mature Cheddar cheese, with smoky roast red pepper sauce and green pesto, packed into gluten-free seeded bread. Meanwhile, the Chicken Shawarma Flatbread - filled with shawarma chicken, garlic yoghurt and sweet chilli sauce, topped with tangy pink pickled onions and spinach, all wrapped in a harissa-spiced flatbread - is returning to the menu, alongside the Tandoori Bhaji Flatbread. This flatbread is packed with tandoori spiced bhajis, cucumber and red onion raita dressing, finished with a tangy mango chutney, topped with spinach in a garlic and herb flatbread. It comes after Costa confirmed that it no longer offers customers the option to heat up their cinnamon bun after receiving several reports of people burning their mouths on the hot icing. The cinnamon bun costs around £3.25 in the majority of its branches and is made of a sweet bun swirled with cinnamon filling, decorated with cream cheese icing and dusted with cinnamon powder. The news came to light after coffee fans took to social media to ask why they were no longer able to get their treats warmed up. One X - formerly Twitter - user asked the company: "Why can't I get my cinnamon bun (best there is) heated? If it's because of stupid H&S issues regarding hot icing, then why can you have hot cheese in your toasties? Come on Costa grow up treat us like adults, and heat your Cinnamon buns." Costa replied: "We have had several reports of customers burning their mouths on the icing, so we have had to advise our teams not to heat these up anymore. We do apologise for any disappointment caused.'

M&S shoppers 'queue outside stores' for £8.50 Dubai-style chocolate
The trend continues with Marks and Spencer's version of the viral chocolate - and fans keen to try the treat while stock lasts The UK remains gripped by stores coming up with their own take on the viral Dubai-style chocolate, which continues making waves on TikTok. Now, Marks and Spencer has become involved in the trend. Its huge block of chocolate had queues forming outside stores ahead of opening, according to M&S. From today (April 23), shoppers could get their hands on the revamped Big Daddy Chocolate Bar, described as "Dubai Chocolate bar but levelled up." Shoppers might remember the Big Daddy chocolate bar, which was released last year. It featured chunky chocolate with pieces of caramel and peanuts. With 'Dubai Chocolate' being one of the current top trends for food and drink in the UK, followed closely by 'pistachio', it comes as no surprise that this inspired the latest offering at M&S Foodhalls. Fans of a nutty delight could indulge in a tasty Pistachio Latte at the café or pick up a pot of the luxurious Pistachio Crème - ideal for spreading on sweet treats. Now, M&S has released the chocolate bar everyone wants to try in stores. From today, the ultimate chunky chocolate bar is filled with gooey sea salted caramel, a sweet biscuit crumb and a thick layer of rich and nutty pistachio crème. You'll also taste roasted pistachio pieces and white chocolate – making for the perfect indulgent treat for those sweet and salty cravings. The 280g bar will set shoppers back £8.50 each. This makes it somewhat expensive compared to other versions available elsewhere - but still cheaper than importing the real deal over to the UK. What is 'Dubai Chocolate'? The original "Dubai Chocolate Bar" is actually called "Can't Get Knafeh Of It." This was created by Fix Dessert Chocolatier based in Dubai, UAE. Popularised on TikTok, this sweet treat is a blend of milk chocolate filled with a pistachio cream and crispy kataifi (shredded phyllo pastry) filling. It is said to be inspired by the Middle Eastern dessert knafeh, a traditional Arab dessert. The trend has led to a huge demand as recreations take shape outside of the UAE. Some have been spotted on shop shelves, including Lindt, B&M, Home Bargains, Lidl, Aldi and Morrisons. People have even tried making their own homemade versions with the core ingredients.
