While we may be divided on who’s the best Disney princess of all time, there’s one thing Disney fans everywhere do agree on: how delicious the food at their theme parks is!

From unbearably adorable Mickey-shaped waffles to the most obscure secret recipes (Kitchen Sink Dessert, anyone?), fans simply love what Disney has to dish out. And now you don’t even have to head to Disneyand to snag your favorite snacks- we’ve got 8 easy Disney dishes you can make at home, with ingredients probably already sitting in your pantry. Yum!

Add a nostalgic Disney vibe to your Sunday breakfast. While you will need a special Mickey-shaped waffle maker to pull this one off, they’re easily available from Target as well as the official Shop Disney website. This simple and family-friendly recipe is an all-American classic, needing some pantry staples like milk, flour, butter, and vanilla extract. If you don’t already have a home-grown waffle mix to use, why not try this simple recipe from Martha Stewart herself?

You can’t say ‘Disney’ without the iconic mouse ears coming to mind, can you? Mickey’s famous ears find their way onto almost everything - so why not add to the Disney vibe with some refreshingly sweet Mickey-themed ice cream bars? A crisp chocolate shell hugging soft vanilla ice cream? Delicious!

This one’s a bit of a cheat, as recipes go, because you can buy the official Mickey bars easily at Walmart and Target. If you’re more adventurous, however, Disney blog The Mommy Mouse Clubhouse has everything you need to create them from scratch. All you’ll need is some ice cream, chocolate chips and coconut oil, popsicle sticks, and a Mickey-shaped cookie cutter...plus a sense of adventure!

Served exclusively from the 50s Prime Time Café in the Hollywood studios area of the park, these delicious drinks smack of childhood nostalgia. They’re super easy to make at home, too, needing only jelly, ice cream, milk, and (of course) some smooth peanut butter. If you want to make sure you get it just right, however, there’s an official recipe on the Disney Parks Blog

They’re not a Disney-only treat, but the ones at the Parks just taste special! That’s why The Stay at Home Chef painstakingly recreated a match for Disney’s iconic recipe in their own kitchen. There’s quite a lot of prep time and ingredients in this one, but the results are sure to be worth it!

5. Delicious Dole Whip

Since its introduction to the Tiki Room experience, Dole Whip has become one of the most beloved treats at Disney theme parks. While it looks just like a scrummy soft-serve, Dole Whip is also dairy-free, meaning almost everyone can enjoy this indulgent pineapple and vanilla sweet treat. It’s served up in a ton of different styles, looks and even flavors these days.

Keen to re-create this delicious treat at home? It doesn’t need much. Grab some vanilla ice cream, your favorite pineapple juice, and maybe some frozen pineapple chunks too. Whip it up in a blender, and get a star-tipped piping bag ready. If you need a little more guidance, you can find the full (and official) recipe on the My Disney Experience app!

6. Join the cake pop generation

Cake pops have surged to popularity over the last few years, and it’s easy to see why. They’re simple to eat, quick to clean up after, and still taste great- what’s not to love? With that in mind, it’s no surprise the Disney parks sell a huge range of adorable cake pops to enjoy.

They’re surprisingly easy to make at home, too. Grab as much frosting, chocolate chips, 100s and 1000s, and other sprinkles as you want, and pop a box of cake mix in the trolley. You will need some equipment, notably cookie cutters and cake-pop sticks, but it’s all easy to find. Try these super-easy cake pops from Sally’s Baking Addiction, or try the family-friendly blog Play Party Plan for a go at the ‘official’ recipe.

7. Delectable Disney churros
