Marvel Super Hero Island is heating up with more than just epic battles. Chill Ice Cream, the superhero-themed sweet spot, has introduced three new sundaes that are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. Let’s dive into these frosty creations.
First up is the Piña Colada Sundae. This tropical treat features Dole Whip pineapple sorbet as its base, complemented by creamy coconut cream, shredded coconut, and juicy pineapple chunks. It’s a taste of paradise in a cup. The combination of sweet and tangy flavors is refreshing and perfect for beating the Florida heat.
Next, we have the Strawberry S’mores Sundae. This decadent dessert is a chocolate lover's dream. Dole Whip strawberry sorbet provides a fruity contrast to the rich chocolate fudge, fluffy marshmallow, and crunchy graham cracker crumbs. If you've ever enjoyed a chocolate-covered strawberry, imagine that flavor intensified and transformed into a sundae. This was our clear favorite, and it’s no wonder why.
Rounding out the trio is the Lime Tart Sundae. This unique combination features Dole Whip lime sorbet, caramel, graham cracker crumbs, and whipped topping. While it’s a bold flavor profile, it didn’t quite hit the mark for us. The lime was a bit overpowering, and the combination of flavors didn’t quite gel.
Before we dive deeper into our taste test, it's important to highlight a fantastic aspect of Dole Whip: it's naturally vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, lactose-free, and cholesterol-free! This makes it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. Plus, it's a wallet-friendly choice compared to other theme park treats. A regular cup of Dole Whip at Aloha Isle in Disney World typically costs around $5.99 with tax, while at Universal, you get a sundae with toppings for the same price.
Now, let's revisit our favorites. The Strawberry S’mores Sundae was an absolute standout. The balance of sweet, tart, and crunchy textures was impeccable. It's a must-try for any chocolate and strawberry enthusiast. The Piña Colada Sundae came in a close second. The refreshing pineapple flavors were perfectly complemented by the coconut cream and pineapple chunks. It's a delightful escape to the tropics.
While the Lime Tart Sundae didn't quite impress us, it's worth noting that taste is subjective. Some people might enjoy the bold lime flavor. It’s always a good idea to try new things, and who knows, it might become a hidden gem for some. In addition to these new sundaes, Chill Ice Cream also serves floats. If you're a fan of the Lime Dole Whip but found the Lime Tart Sundae too tart, you might want to try a Lime Dole Whip Float with Sprite. It's a refreshing twist on a classic!
Overall, Chill Ice Cream has delivered with its new sundae offerings. The Strawberry S’mores Sundae is a clear winner, but the Piña Colada Sundae is a strong contender. Whether you’re a die-hard chocolate fan, a tropical taste seeker, or someone with dietary restrictions, there's a sundae at Chill Ice Cream for you. So, the next time you’re exploring Marvel Super Hero Island, be sure to cool down with one of these delicious treats.
