REVIEW: A Disney Dessert With Unique Flavors Just Won the Cake Game

Disney World is constantly celebrating things (and often it celebrates many things all at the same time!). This month is Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, which has brought its own set of celebrations to Disney.

Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs

As part of this celebration, the talented folks at Disney have whipped up a whole smorgasbord of eats and drinks that showcase AANHPI flavors and culture — and we’re reviewing one of those treats for you today!

Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs is a bakery that specializes in all kinds of delicious treats, and we recently stopped by to try their limited-time offering for Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month — the Ube Banana Mousse!

Ube Banana Mousse from Amorette’s

This Filipino-inspired dessert is an ube chiffon cake layered with banana-caramel mousse and banana liquor glaçage. Ube is a purple yam and is a popular ingredient in the Philippines, often used in desserts after being boiled and mashed.

Talk about a pretty dessert!

First things first, this thing is beautiful — we love the bright colors! It was almost too pretty to eat…almost.

Look at this thing!

We thought this cake was remarkable! It’s not too sweet and definitely a different take on a dessert made with ube — which was the main flavor here. The cake was moist and reminded us of an opera cake. The banana was subtle but absolutely present. The mix of the flavors created a great balance.

We’re ube fans around here.

There was a bitter aftertaste most likely due to the banana liquor, but we didn’t really mind that. The ube flavor might be a little more on the unique side for some, but, again, it’s something we enjoyed. If you’re looking to try something new, this is something worth trying — but picky eaters might want to act with caution.
