Florean Fortescue’s Ice Cream

Florean Fortescue’s has the best ice cream…ever! This Harry Potter themed ice cream shop serves up the most tasty and unique ice cream flavors. You can find scoop and soft-serve ice cream here, with amazing flavors like Butterbeer, Granny Smith, Earl Grey and Lavender, Chocolate Chili, Sticky Toffee Pudding, Salted Caramel Brownie, and much more! The soft serve ice cream is my favorite and has flavors such as Banana, Chocolate, Granny Smith, Orange Marmalade, Toffee, Toffee Apple, and Strawberries & Cream!

Butterbeer

Location: Diagon Alley at Universal Studios and Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure

Butterbeer is one of the most iconic treats at Universal that you can get! This delicious butterscotch flavored drink was made famous by the Harry Potter series. You can enjoy it hot, cold, or even frozen! All three ways are delicious but frozen is the best! Despite its name, Butterbeer is completely alcohol-free and can be enjoyed by children and adults alike! For diehard Butterbeer fans, you can enjoy this sweet treat six different ways: frozen, cold, hot, fudge, potted cream, or ice cream.

The Big Pink

Location: Simpson’s Land at Universal Studios

If you are a fan of The Simpsons, you probably can picture the bright pink donut that Homer Simpson loves to snack on. At Universal Studios, you can enjoy that very same donut! The Big Pink is a gigantic, tasty donut with creamy pink frosting and rainbow sprinkles. The enormous donut is about eight inches in diameter and weighs almost one pound! This is the perfect treat to share among friends and can be found at Lard Lad Donuts!

Cauldron Cakes

Location: Diagon Alley at Universal Studios and Hogsmeade at Islands of Adventure

Harry Potter treats have made quite a few appearances on this list and that is because they are just the best! Cauldron Cakes are fun wizard world themed cakes that taste as good as they look! They are made of delicious chocolate cake with buttercream icing made to look like flames inside of a small silicon cauldron. One really cool thing about this treat is that the cauldron is reusable (think of it as an extra souvenir) and it comes with directions for how to make your own cauldron cakes at home!

Guava Pastelito

Location: Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure 

If you are looking for a Jurassic treat, come and try the delicious Guava Pastelito at Jurassic Park. This sweet snack is a little puffy pastry filled with sweet guava and cheese filling and is topped with powdered sugar. It has a croissant-like consistency, and the combination of guava and cheese was perfect. It’s not overly sweet and always tastes fresh!

Overall

These sweet treats are the perfect addition to your day at Universal Orlando. Not only are they really tasty, but they are also very Instagram-able as well! The next time you are in Universal and craving something sweet, try any one of these treats!
