It is no secret that Disney World’s waffle game is STRONG.
From the Pumpkin-Spiced Mickey Waffle Sundaes to the chocolate Mickey waffles, we haven’t met a Disney waffle that we don’t like! In honor of this year’s “Waffle Week,” Disney released a unique waffle recipe from the theme parks!
The recipe is for Chocolate Waffles with Espresso Frozen Mousse from Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! The chocolate and espresso sound like a perfect match!
We loved this snack in the parks and we are SO excited to have the recipe! Here’s how you make this delicious treat!

For Waffles

- Add melted chocolate and butter mixture to milk and egg mixture.
- Add wet mixture to dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
- Cook waffles in a waffle iron according to manufacturer’s instructions.
To Serve
