While Disneyland guests have already been treated to churros in mouth-watering flavors such as s'mores and cookies 'n cream, now they can sink their teeth into the latest offering: carrot cake churros. Although the idea of a veggie-infused pastry may sound unusual, the new treat is just as sweet as the other churro flavors.
Created to celebrate Disneyland's Pixar Fest, the new carrot cake churros are now available from the New Orleans Square Churro Cart stationed just outside of the haunted mansion. The treats themselves consist of deep fried pastries coated in orange cinnamon sugar and served with a side of raisin-carrot cream cheese frosting. When eaten together, the churro and the frosting taste just like a slice of extra-sweet carrot cake.
