Mister Baker’s Gulab Jamun Croissant combines French butter pastry with traditional Indian mithai syrup. The limited-edition sharing box contains 15 mini croissants, with a promotional price of AED 59 until November 15, 2026, across participating UAE outlets.
DUBAI: Dessert lovers in the UAE have until November 15, 2026, to try Mister Baker’s Gulab Jamun Croissant, a limited-edition treat that brings together flaky French pastry and the rich, syrupy flavours of one of India’s most popular traditional sweets.
Called Croissant au Mithai, the creation combines 15 freshly prepared mini croissants made with 100% French butter and finished with gulab jamun syrup. The sharing box was launched at a promotional price of AED 59.
The dessert offers a playful combination of two familiar favourites, with crisp, buttery layers on the outside and a soft interior coated in sweet syrup.
What makes Mister Baker’s new dessert different?
Unlike traditional croissants, which are usually enjoyed plain or with fillings, Croissant au Mithai takes inspiration from the syrup-soaked sweetness of Indian mithai.
The mini pastries are prepared without margarine and designed to deliver a combination of flaky texture, buttery richness and traditional Indian flavours.
Each box contains 15 pieces, making the dessert suitable for family gatherings, office celebrations, gifting or sharing with friends.
Developed by Mister Baker’s culinary team under Chef Bhupendra Singh, the product reflects the UAE bakery’s growing interest in combining international pastry techniques with familiar South Asian flavours.
Why did Mister Baker combine croissants with gulab jamun?
The creation draws inspiration from the emotional connection many residents have with traditional Indian sweets, particularly during family celebrations.
“Gulab jamun carries memories of family tables, celebrations and the simple excitement of sharing something sweet,” said Sahil Fotedar, Director at Mister Baker.
The bakery has previously explored similar flavour combinations through its Gulab Jamun Cake and Rasmalai Cake.
Its latest offering continues that approach by giving traditional dessert flavours a contemporary twist.
The campaign, titled ‘Dubai Is About to Get Sticky’, encourages customers to share photographs of their dessert experiences using #DubaiGetsSticky.
Where can you buy the Gulab Jamun Croissant in the UAE?
According to the bakery’s promotional announcement, the dessert is available until November 15, 2026, at 20 participating outlets across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman.
The announced in-store price is AED 59 for 15 mini croissants. However, delivery platforms currently list the product at AED 69, so customers should confirm the final price before ordering. Talabat+1
Advance ordering is recommended because availability depends on demand.
The pastries are best enjoyed fresh and have a stated shelf life of two days.
Impact to expect
The limited-edition launch highlights the growing popularity of fusion desserts in the UAE, where international culinary traditions frequently meet. By combining French pastry with Indian flavours, Mister Baker could encourage more experimentation in the local bakery market while offering customers new ways to enjoy familiar sweets.
