Animal Kingdom just added two new churro snacks that started life as gold medal entries in Walt Disney World's internal Churro-lympics. The Churro-misu Cold Brew is at Isle of Java and a churro DOLE Whip sundae is at Warung Outpost. Disney hasn't shared prices or an end date yet.
What the Churro-lympics Is
Yes, this was a real thing. Back in April, culinary teams across Walt Disney World went head to head in a property-wide competition with one assignment. Take the classic Disney churro and reinvent it.
Chef Brad and his team at Disney's Animal Kingdom walked away with two gold medal entries, and both of them are now on the menu. If you've ever wondered where new park snacks come from, sometimes it's a cast member cook-off. Honestly the best possible answer.
Churro-misu Cold Brew | Disney
Churro-misu Cold Brew at Isle of Java
The first winner is a drink. The Churro-misu Cold Brew starts with sweetened Joffrey's cold brew, then gets a layer of mascarpone cream, a dusting of cocoa powder and a crunchy churro on top.
Chef Brad said the team "wanted the flavors of the classic tiramisu," and the ingredient list reads exactly like that. Coffee, mascarpone, cocoa. The churro just stands in for the ladyfinger.
You'll find it at Isle of Java, the Joffrey's coffee stand in Discovery Island. If you need caffeine before Avatar Flight of Passage or an afternoon pick-me-up, this one doubles as dessert.
DOLE Whip Pineapple and Chili-Lime and Churro Sundae | Disney
Churro DOLE Whip Sundae at Warung Outpost
The second winner is the DOLE Whip Pineapple and Chili-Lime and Churro Sundae at Warung Outpost in Asia, near the Caravan Stage where Feathered Friends in Flight! performs.
It's DOLE Whip topped with chili-lime marinated pineapple and a warm cinnamon churro. In Chef Brad's words, "Together, we layered tropical flavors with Latin-inspired accents." Cold, sweet, a little heat, and a warm churro is a pretty great combo on a Florida afternoon.
