How to Make Disney Treats
Ingredients
- 1 big scoop vanilla ice cream
- 4 ounces pineapple juice
- 2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
- 14 whole graham cracker sheets
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 8 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons shortening
- 4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup water
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided into 1/4 teaspoon and 1/2 teaspoon
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil or canola oil
- 1/2 cup sugar
Directions
-
Dole Whip: In a blender, combine the big scoop of vanilla ice cream, pineapple juice, and frozen pineapple chunks. Blend until smooth and serve it immediately for a refreshing treat!
-
Disneyland Peanut Butter Squares: Place the graham cracker sheets in a baking pan. In a bowl, mix the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar until it’s smooth. Spread this mixture over the graham crackers. Melt the chocolate chips with shortening, pour this over the peanut butter, and place in the refrigerator to set.
-
Disney Churro Bites: In a pot, heat the water, butter, and salt together. Stir in the flour until it’s well mixed. Remove from heat and add the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Pipe the dough into hot oil and fry until golden brown. Once done, roll them in a mix of sugar and the remaining cinnamon to finish.
How to Serve Disney Treats
You can serve these treats as a fun dessert after dinner or as a sweet snack during movie nights. Each treat is unique, so let everyone choose their favorite!
How to Store Disney Treats
To store your treats, keep the Dole Whip in the freezer in an airtight container. For the peanut butter squares, slice them and place them in the fridge. The churro bites are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a day or two.
Tips to Make Disney Treats
- Make sure to let the butter soften well for creamy mixtures.
- If the Dole Whip gets too thick, add a splash more pineapple juice to thin it out.
- To make perfect churros, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying for that crunchy texture.
Variation
You can customize the Dole Whip by adding other fruits like mango or strawberry. Try using chocolate spread instead of peanut butter for a twist!
