Ice Cream Desserts in Orlando
Krungthep Tea Time: Brick Toast & High Hat
This Winter Park tea bar highlights deconstructed Thai dishes to enjoy with a lengthy list of teas that are pleasing to the eye and belly. While the name may not suggest decadent desserts, digging into one of the Brick Toast or High Hat delicacies will provide otherwise. Dive into the Sleeping Beauty Brick Toast consisting of organic honey, Nutella, banana, and vanilla ice cream. Or maybe the Strawberry Cheesecake High Hat with its premium vanilla bean ice cream, cheesecake, strawberry, crushed peanuts, raspberry syrup, Ghirardelli white chocolate syrup and a waffle cone are more your speed. Either way, your sugar craving will be satisfied.
Toothsome Chocolate Emporium & Savory Feast Kitchen: Red Velvet Milkshake
Thrust yourself into the Toothsome Family heritage at Toothsome Chocolate Emporium in Universal Orlando CityWalk. This bazaar of sugary confections offers anything your heart could desire. Their grandiose milkshakes are served in large mason jar-like containers and topped with whipped cream, crushed candies, brownies, and even whole cupcakes. Red Velvet, Marshmallow Crisp, Key Lime Pie, and Chocolate x 5 are just a few of the different flavors to choose from.
tip- Keep an eye out for seasonal flavors and a few dairy-free options too.

Since the venue is cozy, reservations are recommended, especially on weekends.
Planet Hollywood Observatory: Cosmic Cotton Candy Milkshake
Planet Hollywood Observatory is a fun spot at Disney Springs. The atmosphere is reason enough to visit (who doesn’t love it when the entire restaurant spontaneously and simultaneously breaks into song?!) but the desserts are the icing on the cake. The Cosmic Cotton Candy milkshake is an out-of-this-world concoction adorned with candy, cotton candy, and a lollipop.

Chocolate Desserts in Orlando
Tableside S’Mores at Bigfire Universal Orlando
We love the variety of restaurants at Universal Orlando that are perfect for date night. And one of our top picks is Bigfire at CityWalk. Even if you just head here for drinks and dessert, the tableside s’mores are sure to be a memorable date night. The variety of fixings to make your s’mores unique will make it fun for you to get creative and try each other’s creations. And with the unmistakable energy of CityWalk, this experience is one of the best desserts in Orlando.
Soco Thornton Park – Potato Chip Crusted Chocolate Cake
Southern hospitality meets contemporary cuisine at SOCO in the Thornton Park District. Bourbon Banana Pudding, S’more Bread Pudding, and Chef’s Selection of Artisanal Cheeses are just a few of the options you will find highlighted on the dessert menu. Awaken your senses with the Potato Chip Crusted Chocolate Cake – chocolate cake with potato chips sprinkled on top plus peanut brittle and salted caramel scattered around.
Hash House a Go Go – Andy’s Famous Bread Pudding
Take your everyday comfort food and add a side of unusual to understand Hash House’s “twisted farm food” motto. The fun menu keeps the conversation interesting and your tongue impressed. Practically every dish is over the top, but plunge your fork into one of their unique sweets like Andy’s Famous Bread Pudding and leave your mouth wowed.
Uncle Julio’s: Chocolate Pinata
An epicurean favorite on I-Drive, Uncle Julio’s adds a scratch kitchen slant to Mexican fare. We loved the fajitas and the guacamole (which is prepared tableside) but the Chocolate Piñata is one of the wildest desserts in Orlando. Servers deliver a giant, suspended chocolate ball on a huge wooden tray and then the fun begins. Diners pick up sticks and whack away at their sweet orb until BOOM… the treasures inside drop. What’s left is a beautiful mess of broken chocolate, churros, strawberries, and pineapple ready to dip in house-made whip cream, caramel and strawberries sauce. Pretty ridiculously awesome!
