The Infamous Kitchen Sink!

A few weeks ago, George and I (along with fellow Disneyphiles Eve and Phil) decided to take part in a challenge of EPIC proportions...The Kitchen Sink at Beaches and Cream, a cute little 50s-style diner at the Beach Club Resort. For those of you who havn't heard of the Kitchen Sink before, here's what it looks like:


Yes ladies and gentleman, for only $26.99 you can get yourself this ginormous piece of ice cream Sunday heaven. Here is the list of ingredients for those of you who are curious on what exactly is in the Kitchen Sink (courtesy of Disney Parks Blog):

  • ½ cup fudge topping, warmed
  • ½ cup butterscotch topping, warmed
  • ½ cup peanut butter topping, warmed
  • 1 medium banana, sliced in 1/2 –inch slices
  • 1 cinnamon spice cupcake (2 ½ x 1 ¼-inch), quartered
  • 1 angel food cupcake (3 x 1 ½-inch), quartered
  • 2 4-oz. scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 2 4-oz. scoops chocolate ice cream
  • 2 4-oz. scoops strawberry ice cream
  • 1 4-oz. scoop mint chocolate chip ice cream
  • 1 4-oz. scoop coffee ice cream
  • 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
  • ¼ cup marshmallow crème
  • ¼ cup strawberry topping
  • ¼ cup pineapple topping
  • 1 14-oz can dairy whipped topping
  • 1 brownie (6-inch x 6-inch), quartered
  • 1 regular-sized (2 ounce) candy bar, quartered
  • 4 chocolate cookies with cream filling
  • 1 tablespoon sliced toasted almonds
  • 1 tablespoon dark and white chocolate shavings
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate cookies with cream filling, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon chopped jellied orange slices (approximately 2 large slices)
  • 1 tablespoon milk chocolate chip morsels
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter chip morsels
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate sprinkles
  • 1 tablespoon rainbow sprinkles
  • ½ cup drained maraschino cherries

Between four full-grown, sugar loving adults, we were able to finish practically the whole thing! And it was abso-friggin-lutely delicious. All that was left to spare was a hunk of ice cream at the bottom that was covered in peanut butter topping, which was way too rich for my blood, and a little bit of melted ice cream stuck to the bottom of the sink. Was it worth the $26.99 price tag? Between the four of us, definitely! It was a great midday snack and break away from the parks, plus its only about a buck or two more than getting an ice cream sunday in the parks. The service was also awesome. When the server brought out the Kitchen Sink, the lights in the restaurant were dimmed, and some flashy, strobe lights went off and she announced to everyone in the restaurant that we were about to partake in the Kitchen Sink challenge. It was a really cute and fun thing to do at Disney that neither of us had done before. So all of you with a sweet tooth (or mouth full of sweet teeth), go get yourself a Kitchen Sink!
