Smiling Santa Waffles

Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs is Selling a Santa Waffle This Season

— November 15, 2019 — Lifestyle
If you're stopping by Disney Springs this holiday season, you'll want to sink your teeth into the new Santa Waffle from Vivoli il Gelato. Though Vivoli il Gelato is primarily known for its gelato, the sweets shop also serves up some delicious baked goods.

Vivoli il Gelato's 2019 holiday menu includes six new items, two of which are baked goods. Of the baked treats available, one is the Santa Waffle. A delicious option for breakfast or dessert, the Santa Waffle consists of a freshly baked waffle topped with strawberries, banana slices, chocolate chips, and lots of whipped cream. Each topping is strategically arranged to turn the waffle into a smiling Santa character. As for the other new baked good, Vivoli il Gelato is offering a Pumpkin Bombolato, which is essentially a dessert sandwich with pumpkin gelato on the inside.
