Zebra Dome ?

[HunnyPots]

OK here goes: what is the world is a "zebra dome"? I keep reading raves about them and have even seen pictures of them but I still have no idea what it actually is! Can somebody help?

Ah! I discovered the wonder of the Zebra Dome just last week! It's a small dome, covered in light and airy white chocolate with milk chocolate stripes. The "inside" of the dome is creamy milk chocolate - almost mousse-like in texture, and heavily infused with Kahlua. It is heaven, but is very, very rich. I couldn't finish mine, much as I tried. Hope you get to try one soon!

OK, I'll bite (pun intended). Where in the World (WDW) does one purchase a Zebra Dome? (It sounds like something I might like, but my wife would loooovvvvveeee... )

Zebra domes are served on the dessert bar for dinner at Boma (AKL). This is currently our favorite WDW buffet eatery.

It would not be out of the question to go to Boma and pay the $20 and just eat Zebra Domes and other deserts but they have such interesting other foods on the buffet that it is tough to leave room for a dome.

Are there nuts in them??? I thought I read somewhere that there are some kind of nuts in them. I am allergic to nuts but have been hearing such rave reviews that I am dying to try them.

I agree with Danz.....I could have definitely eaten my $$ worth in desserts alone! They are all so delicious! You could gain 5 pounds just by looking at them! The appear to be small desserts, but beware....after filling up on the meal at Boma trying to get those desserts down can be a challenge. A challenge I was up to!

I haven't tried them....looks like NO nuts though.

Here's a recipe if someone wants to give it a try.

We ate at Boma in Feb. 2002 and adored everything about it! The zebra domes were my 8yo DD's favorites! We filled in a request card and they sent (emailed) the recipe ASAP- it was waiting for me when we got home, along with other yummies like pork in cola sauce (trust me...!)! My DD can be a rather selective eater, but you never would have thought that by the amounts she consumed at Boma- we all thought it was FANTASTIC!!!

We had some ZD's a couple of weeks ago. Having had them several times before, it hit me that it is a bit like tiramisu(covered in chocolate) I commented on this at dinner and several in our party agreed. Whatever it is, it is goooooooooooooood.
