Zebra Domes at Boma/Mara - Animal Kingdom Lodge
A favorite for many who visit Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge is the World famous Zebra Domes! These delightfully rich treats that have a sort of coffee-kahlua flavor, can be found at both Boma (where they originated), as well as in the refrigerated section of the Mara. To many, they are domes of heaven and they have reached the point of Disney cult status.
As for making them at home, it may take a while (there are a lot of steps), but when all is said and done, if you are a fan of the Zebra Dome, I think it will all be worth it!
