Ghirardelli

There’s an incredible new ice cream sundae at Disney Springs! If you’re seeking a cool dessert, then consider visiting Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate for a great day at Disney Springs.

The Gold Rush Caramel Sundae consists of vanilla ice cream, sea salt, diced almonds, caramel sauce, and whipped cream with a Ghirardelli Squares White Chocolate Caramel.

You can see a video of what the ice cream sundae looks like in our Instagram.

We’re trying a new dessert at Disney Springs. “Gold Rush Caramel Sundae” – Vanilla ice cream, sea salt, diced almonds, caramel sauce, and whipped cream with a Ghirardelli Squares White Chocolate Caramel. You can find it at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop! . .  @disneyworldavenger . #ghirardelli #disneysprings #icecream #waltdisneyworld #disneyworld

Overall, the Gold Rush Caramel Sundae is a fantastic new menu item at the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop. The vanilla ice cream at Ghirardelli is always great quality, plus the caramel sauce is decadent and pairs well with the toppings. Despite being a chocolate-lover, I enjoyed the caramel and vanilla flavors. The white chocolate caramel square adds to the sundae with its rich and creamy flavor. This is definitely a refreshing dessert I would recommend for anyone looking to escape the summer heat!

The Fools Gold Caramel Sundae costs $13.75 plus tax. The ice cream sundae is big enough to share, but you might just eat the whole thing once you taste it! Next time you visit Ghirardelli at Disney Springs, consider trying this sweet treat. We’re sure you’ll love it as much as we did!

Maple Bacon Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough: Two Delicious Favorites, One Treat

bacon cookie dough disney springs

I was walking around Disney Springs minding my own business when a sign caught my eye.  Maple Bacon Chocolate-Chip Cookie Dough!

This dessert is just what it sounds like; a scoop of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough topped with sweet, chewy bacon.  It was an interesting combination.  The flavors all stayed on the sweeter side due to the bacon being candied.  The cookie dough was cool and creamy.

This is currently the only cookie dough option at Disney Springs with the food truck section remaining closed.  The Candied Bacon Chocolate Chip-Cookie Dough can be found at B.B. Wolf’s across from the Lego Store on the bridge at Disney Springs.  This is an unusual offering for this stand that usually features sausage sandwiches, etc.

The bacon and cookie dough combo costs $4.49.  It is one of the smaller portions found on Disney property.

Are you drooling yet? What do you think?  Do bacon and cookie dough make a delicious combination? We will let you be the judge!

Maleficent Cake Jar Recipe

Maleficent Cake Jar

“The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But, before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday…she should enjoy cake!”

Even though Maleficent didn’t say the last part of this quote in her curse, we think she would be in better spirits if cake was offered at Princess Aurora’s birthday celebration. Today, we are showing you how to create this incredible dessert based on everyone’s favorite Disney villain!

Ingredients

1.) Cake

  • Vanilla Cake Mix
  • Chocolate Cake Mix
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 6 eggs
  • Purple food coloring

2.) Icing

  • 1 pound unsalted butter
  • 1 pound powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
  • Electric green food coloring

3.) Toppings

  • Black fondant
  • Purple sprinkles

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine vanilla cake mix, 1 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 3 eggs into a large bowl. Add purple food coloring and stir until combined.
  3. Combine chocolate cake mix, 1 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 3 eggs into a large bowl.
  4. Scoop 1/4 cup of purple cake batter into mason jar. Add 1/4 cup of chocolate cake batter. Continue to alternate layers of purple and chocolate cake batter until mason jar is half full.
  5. Fill a baking pan with a thin layer of water. Place cake jar on pan. Bake cake jar at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes.
  6. While cake jar is baking, roll fondant into 1″ balls. Shape into horns.
  7. To prepare mint icing, combine unsalted butter, powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract into a bowl. Add electric green food coloring.
  8. Once cake jars have cooled, pipe icing on top of the cake. Add purple sprinkles, and place two horns to finish the look.

The mason jar dessert tastes just as good as it looks! It’s a great dessert to bring to a Disney party.
