New Leprechaun Churro Has Us Leaping!
Who’s ready to order the biggest, brightest, most merry and magical churro this St Patrick’s Day?
We know we are!
If you’re with us, then hop on down to Disney Springs. First, you’re gonna want to follow the cinnamon-scented smiles down to the waterside in the Marketplace neighborhood of the ‘Springs.
There, make a stop right outside this vibrant booth… Sunshine Churros!
Perhaps our favorite spot to grab a churro outside of the Disney Parks themselves, Sunshine Churros is known for serving up awesome, limited-time churro concoctions in celebration of all kinds of special events. Most recently, it was the sweet-as-pie Strawberry Shortcake Churro for Valentine’s Day.
So today, of course, St Patrick’s Day, and we couldn’t wait to see how the bakery had chosen to mark the occasion. To our delight, they’ve gone for a churro inspired by an Irish icon… the leprechaun!
It was our MickeyBlogger Jessie who was reporting on-the-scene at Disney Springs this morning, and you can see her Leprechaun Churro treat photographed here in all its glory.
Before we get to talking about the flavor of this one, we just have to comment… isn’t it huge? Sunshine Churros weren’t messing around when they designed this dessert – it’s enormous!
But, what’s in it? Well, according to the poster, this is a freshly-made churro rolled in Oreo cookie crumbs, and drizzled with a criss-cross of white and green buttercream frosting.
It’s finished with a coat of “festive sprinkles,” and is served up ready to enjoy at the Disney Springs dockside!
When Jessie tried this, she told us that, while you get a tasty chocolate flavor from the cookie pieces, the churro still boasts that signature cinnamon flavor.
So it’s like the best of both worlds – chocolate and cinnamon all in one!
The frosting atop the churro is plain buttercream, so doesn’t add any other strong flavor, just extra sweetness and texture.
However, those fun green shades sure do make this treat look festive, and we’re sure we’ll be seeing this pop up on our Instagram feeds throughout St Patrick’s Day weekend!
If you’re wanting to try this huge Leprechaun Churro treat for yourself, we’d recommend you head on down to Sunshine Churros quickly. As it’s a limited-time offering, this is only available until Sunday March 19th, so don’t miss out! It costs $8.95.
Enjoy!
