REVIEW: This Disney World Dessert Confused Us… And We’re Not Sure How to Feel About It

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is known for having some of the best dining options in all of the Disney World parks, and that often extends from actual meals all the way to desserts.

Is this dessert as good as it looks?

One of our favorite desserts in the park right now is the Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich, which is totally worth any long line you see for it, and so we had high hopes for this new dessert at Pizzafari. Alas, we took one bite, and that was almost too much.

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Over at this quick-service restaurant, you can now snag the new Marbled Swirled Cheesecake for $6.49. This is made with Vanilla Whipped Cream, Chocolate Sauce, Mini Brownies, and Chocolate Zebra Stripes.

Marbled Swirled Cheesecake

While this dessert absolutely looked delicious and had us very excited, it wasn’t anything to write home about. It tastes like a standard slice of cheesecake, but one that you’re not particularly impressed by, and we wouldn’t call it marbled — it more looked like shards of chocolate were just shoved in the cheesecake before it was baked. The brownie pieces on the plate were the strongest flavor, leaving the actual flavor of the cheesecake to be lacking.

We wanted so much more

While there is a citrus zing to each bite that combined interestingly with the chocolate syrup, there was nothing about it that made us want to keep eating it. We had one bite and were pretty much done, so we can really only recommend it for someone who’s looking for the absolute most basic piece of cheesecake ever, and even then, you’ll likely be let down. We recommend saving your money for one of the many other delicious treats around the park, such as the ice cream sandwich we mentioned earlier, which is right across from Pizzafari.

Alas, it let us down
