[purple figment]

Zebra Domes are one of my favs, but I have never seen them in the park.

 

[TheRustyScupper]

No.

 

[Maleficent53]

What are zebra domes? Am I missing out on something????

 

[angieand3rs]

This is random, but I've never actually had a zebra dome. We're going in Dec, and I'm excited to try one!

Like mentioned, you cannot get zebra domes at Disney's Animal Kingdom park.
(which surprises me)

Zebra domes are found on the buffet at Boma and at the Mara food court in Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge.

The Mara- AKL

Zebra Domes

They are delicious bites of goodness. Found AFAIK only at Boma and the Mara at AKL.

A chocolate/coffee mousse on a spongecake base. Covered in white chocolate and drizzled with dark chocolate. Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my keyboard.

 

[Pirate Me]

They're so good! If you're ever by AKL, you could get a package at the Mara.

ZOMGoodness ZEBRA DOMESssssssssss

These delicious lil tidbits are in the cooler section at The Mara. At first I wasn't sure of them but after the first bite, I hid them from the kids so they wouldn't eat them all before I got a 2nd one

Opposing view here - zebra domes are much overhyped. We found them to be rather mushy bits of cake without a lot of flavor. What there is is derived from the alcohol that they are doused with before baking.

 

[ppony]

I'm not a super fan of them either but they are also often found in the CL lounge of the AKL too.

Ugh! I was getting excited until I read this post. I hate desserts that have alcohol in them

You might be able to get them at EPCOT during Snack Attack :

But zebra domes make for a great QS meal dessert at Mara !

Same here. It's an instant turn off. I cannot stand ANY combination of alcohol and dairy products, either. I'd rather drink a straight shot of Bacardi 151 than have one sip of a "mudslide", ugh!

LOVE AK, AKL, Boma, and The Mara, but not a zebra dome fan. I think the highlight of The Mara is the AMAZING butternut squash soup!

 

[mmmagic7754]

They didn't thrill me...wasn't expecting coffee and alcohol.

 

[Planogirl]

I didn't like them but I don't like coffee. There are other great desserts at Boma so I didn't mind.

Crap, I had no idea that they had alcohol We do not drink or eat anything with alcohol in it for religious reasons.

Thanks for posting the recipe! They seem like they'd be good to try at home, especially since the homemade version could probably have the alcohol left out. (I'm assuming--correct me if the alcohol is necessary for the recipe to turn out right.)

Yeah, I was beyond excited to try these due to the reviews here, but it wasn't a dessert I'd go out of my way to get again.
