Selecting a candy, sugary deal with at Disneyland is sort of like that first time you strive leaping into the courting pool — there’s so many choices, you’re unsure the place to start out.
A type of choices are churros, which could be discovered at meals carts all through Disneyland, Disney California Journey and even Downtown Disney.
Even the churro, although, comes with a mind-numbing variety of choices, should you’re trying to strive one thing new.
Throughout a latest journey to the parks in the course of the summer time of 2022, I attempted each specialty churro I may discover on the carts positioned in Disneyland and DCA.
Due to seasonal gadgets and gadgets happening and off the menu, these is probably not the specialty churros out there whenever you go to Disneyland.
This text is simply meant to present you a baseline for what sort of churro goodies to count on, and hopefully the one you select to take pleasure in might be there throughout your journey.
Right here’s my prime three, and a little bit of commentary on those who fell exterior the highest selections.
S’mores churro
Out there close to Redwood Creek Problem Path, Disney California Journey
The S’mores churro may be very candy, however what actually makes it work is a wonderful mixture of textures — the smoothness of the melted chocolate, the crunchiness of the graham cracker (and the churro itself, after all) and the sticky sweetness of the marshmallow.
It’s a messy possibility, however leaves you craving it once more.
The S’mores churro is damaged into two items, and I used the second half to scoop up the toppings that fell off and have been left over within the paper container it is available in.
This was hands-down the winner of the competitors, each in style and presentation.
Whereas it wasn’t out there whereas I used to be on this journey, I’ve additionally had the fluffernutter churro, and it’s in the identical realm of deliciousness, to me. Swap out the graham cracker and swap in peanut butter, and they're very comparable.
Cookie-dusted churro
Out there at Cozy Cone Motel 1, Disney California Journey
The cookie-dusted churro was tremendous tasty and delivered an awesome mixture of two basic sugary treats.
Like so lots of the others, it was messy after being rolled in particular cookie-flavored sugar — seize some napkins.
However there was a robust style of cookie and the dipping sauce — not fairly the identical consistency as cookie dough, however the same taste — was scrumptious. I needed to break the churro into items to assist scoop the sauce, it was so thick.
Blueberry Seems to be Good on You churro
Out there on the churro cart nearest Sleeping Magnificence Fortress, Disneyland
Just like the cookie-dusted churro, this one got here with a flavored sugar coating — and it was a robust sufficient blueberry taste with out being overpowering.
The dipping sauce, although, actually bought this one.
It was a blueberry cheesecake dipping sauce — which prices an additional greenback on prime of the churro value — and it was not like the rest you could possibly discover at Disneyland on the time.
Even whereas I sat on a sizzling bench with no shade, the dipping sauce supplied me with some much-needed refreshment, and jogged my memory a little bit of cheesecake filling.
Different specialty churro choices that simply weren’t for me
Relating to the remainder of the specialty churros out there throughout my journey, I might simply as simply purchase an everyday (boring) churro over searching for out these choices once more. That’s simply private desire.
They included:
Parade desires churro (out there in City Sq., Disneyland): This churro is supposed to have fun the Fundamental Avenue Electrical Parade and the presentation comprises a vibrant quantity of coloration. The pop rocks are enjoyable and it has inexperienced apple style.
Visually, it's in the identical hemisphere of the S’mores. However the flavors don’t work collectively in addition to they need to.
Pineapple tres leches (out there in Hollywood Land, Disney California Journey): This was an everyday churro that comes with a pineapple sauce at a further value. It’s chilled and has a pleasant taste.
The sauce is $1.75 — unsure if it’s price that a lot. But it surely was a light-weight, refreshing tackle the usual churro.
Quite a lot of flavored sugar churros — inexperienced apple, orange pop, cinnamon sugar, berries and cream (positioned at completely different carts in each parks): In truth, I wasn’t an enormous fan of any of those choices. Usually, the flavored sugar style was too delicate, not like the blueberry churro.
A number of got here with dipping sauces, however even then, I’d stick with an ordinary churro over many of those specialty ones.
