1. This Disneyland Dole Whip Recipe
Ask any Disneyland fan what their favourite treat is on a cold day, and odds are their answer will be Dole Whip. This tasty (healthy-ish? maybe?) dessert is a Disneyland staple, and one that you definitely should try to recreate at home!
While Disney posted an “official” Dole Whip recipe recently with a tantalizingly simple 3 ingredients, many have complained that (while tasty) it’s not the same as the Disneyland Dole Whip which is dairy-free. For a dairy-free Dole Whip recipe that’ll transport you straight to Disneyland, click here for a great three ingredient recipe courtesy of Food, Folks and Fun.
2. This Disneyland Corndog Recipe
Just looking at a photo of Corn Dog Castle can evoke the most delicious smells and memories. I mean, is it possible to smell a place just by reading it? I think so. If you’re feeling for some tasty, crispy, perfect, hand-dipped corndogs à la Disneyland, then make sure you try this copycat recipe from Lil Luna.
