Fans of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter can cool off with the iconic Butterbeer Ice-Cream at Florean Fortescue’s Ice-Cream Parlour in Diagon Alley. DreamWorks Land serves up colorful favorites like the Poppy-licious Pink and Brozone Berry treats at Trolls Treats, while Marvel Super Hero Island offers a tropical escape with the Piña Colada Sundae from Chill Ice Cream.
Epic Universe has quickly become one of the best places at Universal Orlando for frozen desserts. Guests can grab the fan-favorite Frosted Owl from Frosty Moon in Celestial Park, a rich and refreshing treat that quickly became one of our favorite snacks during a recent visit. Chocolate lovers should also make time for Satellite Shakes, where Captain Cacao’s Starlight Voyage delivers an over-the-top handcrafted milkshake that’s as impressive to look at as it is to drink. If you can’t decide, there are two other creative shakes on the menu that are worth checking out as well.
Over at Universal CityWalk, The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen continues to be a dessert destination with towering milkshakes like the popular Cookie Jar, while Volcano Bay guests can stay cool with the refreshing Waturi Fusion from Koka Poroka Ice Cream Kona.
