Disney4me Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 If you’re in the mood for some soft-serve ice cream and other sweet treats at the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, head over to Swirled Showcase! This booth has quickly become a festival fixture since its debut during the 2023 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. Swirled Showcase! The 2025 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially begun and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to Swirled Showcase to give you the FULL scoop (get it…it’s ice cream..full scoop. HA!) Is it worth a try? Let’s find out! Menu This year, Swirled Showcase is serving up some returning soft-serve flavors in addition to a few new menu items. Returning are three soft serve flavors — vanilla, peanut butter, and grape jelly. NEW for 2025 is a Lemon Sorbet, a new beer, and a Lemon-Elderflower Float made with lemon sorbet and Central 28 Beer Company Elderflower Pale Ale. Also returning is the Liquid Nitro Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake. 2025 Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed the new Lemon Sorbet for $6.50. Lemon Sorbet This Lemon Sorbet was a perfect addition to the Swirled Showcase! The Flower and Garden Festival is all about bright and fresh, and this sorbet was just that. It’s simple but exactly what we needed! Yum! The three soft-serve flavors are returning this year. When we tried several flavors out last year, we really enjoyed the Peanut Butter soft serve! All ice creams are available for $6.50. Peanut Butter Soft-serve If you’re a fan of PB&J, we recommend a swirl of Peanut Butter and Grape Jelly! On its own, we enjoyed the Grape Jelly soft serve last year, too. Grape Jelly Soft-serve And if you’re a Vanilla soft-serve fan, that’s also on the menu this year! You can’t go wrong with vanilla, right? Vanilla Soft-serve in a Waffle Cone Also returning to the menu this year is the Liquid Nitro Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake made with fresh honey, granulated honey, and honey mead-blueberry compote for $5.50. This dish was a favorite of ours last year. Liquid Nitro Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake Once again, this was one of our favorites! We love all the different textures, and if you aren’t a big fan of traditional cheesecake textures, you might want to give this one a try. On the other hand, if you’re a firm believer that a cheesecake should be a certain way, you might want to pass. From the drizzled and granulated honey and the blueberry compote, this is going to be on our favorites list again. Liquid Nitro Honey Mascarpone Cheesecake There’s something about that Liquid Nitrogen that really makes this feel EXTRA special. Those Disney food scientists did something pretty cool here, and we’ll keep recommending this to everyone we know. Drinks Two new drinks debut at Swirled Showcase this year. First up is the Lemon-Elderflower Float made with lemon sorbet and Central 28 Beer Company Elderflower Pale Ale for $12.50. Lemon Elderflower Float We were shocked at how much we enjoyed this float! The lemon sorbet paired really nicely with the beer, turning the idea of an ice cream float on its head. Even Cast Members were saying how delicious this dish was and how guests should try it out. Delicious! The other new drink is the Central 28 Beer Company Elderflower Pale Ale, which is the same drink as the Lemon-Elderflower Float, which costs $12. OVERALL We tend to love Swirled Showcase, and this year’s Flower and Garden Festival offerings are no exception! The Lemon-Elderflower Float surprised us in such a lovely way, combining two amazing foods: ale and soft serve! The Liquid Nitro Honey-Mascarpone Cheesecake was perfect, just like last year, and a great combination of different textures and flavors into one delicious dessert.
