The Universal Studios Florida park currently closes at 5:00PM everyday for their Halloween Horror Nights event, so we knew our last stop of the day in Diagon Alley had to be Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour. For those who have read the books, you will know that Harry spends a great deal of time studying at Florean Fortescue's when he lives at Leaky Cauldron for a few weeks in Prisoner of Azkaban. You will also know that aside from helping Harry with his History of Magic homework on medieval witch-burnings, Florean also gives Harry free strawberry peanut butter ice cream sundaes every half hour. So guess what we got?

Despite having to wait in line for 30 minutes, Minji and I both agreed the Chocolate Strawberry Peanut Butter Sundae was entirely worth it. (And yes, we each got our own. Because it just seemed too precious to share.) It's strawberry peanut butter ice cream with hot fudge, whipped cream, shortbread crumbles, and a cherry on top served in a souvenir glass for $10.99, which I think is actually pretty reasonable considering the prices of most food items in the park. I do feel like they could work on the presentation of the sundae as they push the ice cream down flat to fill in the rest of the cup with whipped cream (the sample models of the sundaes look bigger with a rounded scoop and a much smaller dollop of whipped cream on top, which just looks far more aesthetically pleasing), but the combination of flavours makes up for it. There are a lot of ice cream options here, but if you're only going to get one, this is the one to get — it's indulgent, it's delicious, and it's the only one mentioned in the books. As for us, our goal is to visit here at least once a day on this trip.
