This time of year, it’s absolutely CRUCIAL to consume a steady stream of peppermint, in order to maintain proper holiday giddiness! Fortunately, whether it’s a GIGANTIC donut or a refreshing cocktail, Disney World has those peppermint cravings covered!
Beyond the popular snack picks, we discovered ANOTHER way to add a little peppermint to your life with this ice cream hack at Animal Kingdom!
On a hot Florida day, one of our go-to spots is Anandapur Ice Cream Truck in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom! You know, that chocolate soft-serve just REALLY hits the spot! Plus, that tricked-out truck makes for a GREAT photo backdrop!
Last year, we fell in love with the Peppermint Ice Cream at Anandapur Ice Cream Truck, so we were PSYCHED to see it back on the menu! And this year, we thought we’d try something a little different and venture into new ice cream territory… .
Introducing the chocolate-peppermint soft-serve!
It’s as tasty as it is colorful!
Even though you won’t see this combo on the menu, here’s how to hack it and live your best holiday life.
Simply ask for a cup or a cone of BOTH peppermint and chocolate soft-serves! Although they won’t come in a traditional swirl, you’ll still be able to get that classic flavor duo!
Unlike the classic chocolate-vanilla swirl, wherein the two flavors are woven together, this pairing has the two ice creams stacked on top of one another.
Which is actually pretty awesome, because now you can control the ratio of peppermint to chocolate in each spoonful!
It’s all capped off with a sprinkling of peppermint morsels for added crunch and Christmasy color! Like the regular ice cream, you can snag this merry medley for $4.99 from Anandapur Ice Cream Truck this holiday season!
