We love that Disney has food options for everyone, even those with food allergies and sensitivities.

Table service restaurants are typically better at accommodating than quick service locations, and chefs will even come out to speak with your table about the allergens! If you’re someone who eats a plant-based diet, you’ll love that you can now make one popular plant-based Disney dessert at home!

Disney has released the official recipe for making the delicious Plant-based Peanut and Banana Torte from California Grill, located in Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

This dessert is made up of a shortbread crust made with gluten-free flour, peanut butter filling, and a delicious white chocolate glaze, then served with blackberry-banana sauce, miso caramel, peanut crumble, and caramelized bananas. This recipe serves 12, so let’s get to baking!
