[Heidijs]

Okay so what's in them? Peanut butter? Did you get those to go or something?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe The Mara (AKL counter service)
sells them to go, or you can get them at dinner at Boma.

They are amazing, and so is all the food at Boma-it's a "must do" for us.

I do not think there is peanut butter in them.

Isn't Kahlua involved?

They are fantastic. I would highly reccomend Boma.
Here is the recipie from all ears if you want to see the ingredients: http://allears.net/din/rec_zebra.htm

I don't know that Zebra domes are all that. You can find a recipe online, I think. They are rather complicated to make though.

They are ratehr like chocolate mousse on top of a cookie crumb crust. I think the crust is chocoalte wafers.

They are sort of Boma's signature dessert, and they are made inhouse...but if you are going to Boma just to have them you will be woefully disappointed.

Go to Boma for the whole buffet. I do like Boma, but LOTS of folks have been diappointed by it. I don't find the menu all that exotic to be certain, but you have to be willing to try some slightly 'different' things to enjoy Boma. If you hate veggies or are a hardcore eater of classic American food you won't enjoy it.

The menu alternates but some regulars include: fresh fruit, various salads, various soups (Mulagatawny, butternut squash soup to name a few), hummous, fufu - which is mashed potato and mashed sweetpotato mixed togther, a dish made from cormeal mush, plain ziti, salmon covered with a nut topping, cookies, and more.

I think the main reason people rant is because they are slightly unique to Boma- but really they aren't very exotic, IMO. They may have Kahlua in them, but if so they don't have a strong alcohol taste at all.

If you go up a link, there are a numberof Boma recipes posted.

My favorite is not listed. It's a salad with baby spinach, mustard vingarette, pears, and quinoa (A tiny grain). The quinoa and the pear give it a tiny bit of crunch plus great texture.

Do go to Boma, but not for the Zebra domes. The buffet is great. Can't stand the Zebra domes. They ain't worth $35/person, regardless of what you read here.

We agree. The buffet was great, and the kids ate some things they wouldn't normally have tried, but the zebra domes as a dessert were a let down. I personally found them to be marshmallowy and practically tasteless. I will say, I'm an avid baker and I guess I just expected more when I heard all the hype.

Well we're not big fans of new stuff, and what I just read, don't think we'll make a special trip for this. We're more into the american foods and the menu didn't sound very appealing and I have a fussy 4 year old.

Note: No zebras are harmed in the preparation of this dish.

You can get them from the Mara (the AKL quick service on ground level next to the pool).

DW loved them, I just thought they were ok. I would eat one if we got them again but she could take the other four, for sure. Not my thing. I'd suggest you just get an order from Mara first before you change an entire ADR just for Zebra Domes. There are desserts out there possibly worth changing ADRs for - I don't think ZDs are one of them.

I saw the title of this thread and immediately thought "little pieces of heaven." My goodness, they are so good!
