Bakers Delight just revealed a game-changing secret—Shoppers can't believe it!

If you thought you’d seen it all at your local Bakers Delight, think again!

The beloved Aussie bakery chain has just dropped a bombshell that’s got sweet tooths and pastry lovers across the country buzzing with excitement—and maybe even lining up before sunrise.



That’s right, Bakers Delight has announced the arrival of a brand-new treat: the Pistachio Danish.

Priced at just $3.80, this decadent delight is set to hit stores nationwide from August 14, and it’s already being hailed as the next big thing in Australia’s ever-evolving dessert scene.

So, what’s all the fuss about? Picture this: a golden, buttery, flaky pastry, filled with a smooth, creamy custard centre, and finished with a generous swirl of the cult-favourite Pistachio Papi spread.

If you haven’t heard of Pistachio Papi yet, you’re in for a treat—this ultra-rich, vibrantly green pistachio spread has been causing a stir in foodie circles, with fans going to extraordinary lengths to get their hands on a jar.

Pistachio has long been a favourite in gelato shops and Middle Eastern desserts, but in recent years, it’s exploded in popularity.

What was once a niche flavour is now a mainstay in cafes, patisseries, and ice cream shops across the country. And now, with Bakers Delight jumping on board, pistachio is officially going mainstream.

The partnership with Pistachio Papi is a stroke of genius. This Aussie-made spread first shot to fame with exclusive pop-ups that drew kilometre-long queues—some fans even paid up to $300 on Airtasker just to have someone else wait in line for them!

When Pistachio Papi teamed up with Sydney’s Son of a Baker in late 2023, more than 2,000 jars sold out in just 48 hours. Talk about a cult following!



Now, with Bakers Delight rolling out the Pistachio Danish to over 500 stores nationwide, this once-hard-to-find flavour is about to become the most accessible pistachio dessert in the country.

And if the early buzz is anything to go by, it might just become the most in-demand, too.

But the pistachio craze isn’t just an Aussie phenomenon. The trend actually started online, thanks to a viral sensation from Dubai.

In 2021, Fix Dessert Chocolatier created the original 'Dubai chocolate bar'—a luxurious treat featuring pistachio-tahini cream, crispy kataifi pastry, and a coating of milk chocolate.

When a video of the bar went viral on social media in 2023, it racked up over 120 million views and inspired a wave of pistachio-infused creations around the world.

Suddenly, everyone wanted a piece of the pistachio action. Supermarket giants like Costco, Trader Joe’s, Shake Shack, Dunkin’, and Lindt all launched their own pistachio products.

There’s even a Dubai chocolate-inspired espresso martini can in the UK! The Middle Eastern-inspired flavour is now being tipped as the 'flavour of 2025'—and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.

So, what’s behind the pistachio obsession? For starters, pistachios have a unique, subtly sweet and nutty flavour that pairs beautifully with both sweet and savoury dishes.



They’re also packed with nutrients, including healthy fats, protein, and antioxidants—so you can almost convince yourself that your new favourite Danish is a health food (well, almost!).

But perhaps the real appeal lies in the sense of luxury and indulgence that pistachio brings.

With its vibrant green colour and rich, creamy texture, pistachio has become a symbol of 'status desserts'—the kind of treat you’d expect to find in a fancy patisserie, not your local shopping centre bakery.

Early reactions from fans have been nothing short of ecstatic. 'Epic! My diet can start next week,' one customer joked. Another declared, 'I’ll be there at opening.'

And a third, clearly a regular, said, 'Finally a place I visit daily—at 7:30am I’m bound to actually get my hands on one before they sell out!'
