Valentine’s Treat Review: Cherry Mousse at Disneyland’s Red Rose Tavern

Red Rose Tavern

, the now years-long Beauty and the Beast overlay of Pinocchio Village Haus in Disneyland’s Fantasyland, has offered many lovely rose desserts in the time since the restaurant opened in 2017. It all began with the Lemon Rose Cake in February of that year.

And Halloween Time last year saw the addition of the Black Rose Dessert — a dark version of the thematic treat.

The purple passion trend brought a purple rose to the mix earlier this year. And now Red Rose Taverne offers a rose even the Beast would love: Cherry Mousse.

Cherry Mousse is just in time for Valentine’s Day and its celebratory umbrella event Get Your Ears On. This dessert consists of a center of dark chocolate ganache on a base of chocolate crunch. The rose-shaped cherry mousse is coated in red velvet spray (!) and sprinkled with gold dust and mini heart sprinkles. And it is totally ready for its close-up!

The structure of the Cherry Mousse is impressive, with the super thick chocolate ganache creating a dense center that also includes chocolate pearls. We found the red velvet spray imparted some flavor, and it’s certainly a fun way to add a lot of color. But the cherry mousse — while good — paled in comparison to the ganache.

The Cherry Mousse is served cold, so this is not a lava cake situation. And happily this treat isn’t as overly sweet as many other Get Your Ears On offerings have been. But for $5.99, this is essentially a lovely plated dessert and worth a try!
