Overview
- Disney’s Ambassador Instagram account, which posted a behind-the-scenes video Wednesday, names Pastry Chef Kellie Matthews and Pastry Cook Joe Vella as the creators.
- Sold at Terra Treats in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, the sandwich stacks a brownie with vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and edible cookie dough.
- Matthews says she built the concept from childhood memories, channeling cookie dough cravings and the look of parchment-wrapped treats from a 1940s ice cream truck.
- Vella refined the process for high-volume service by dialing in melting points and solving transport from the bakery to the stand.
- The dessert has drawn heavy lines and widespread coverage on Disney fan sites, and the official spotlight is driving even more interest.
