Homemade Zombie Fingers In Celebration of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is just a week away. To celebrate I tried my hand at making Zombie Fingers like the ones that will appear at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. Of course theirs look way better, but here is what I made and the recipe if you want to give it a try.

First up is the description of the item. It reads, “Almond cookie fingers, Key lime pie white chocolate ganache, salted caramel crisp pearls, and sugar eyes.”

For mine, I did not do the caramel crisp pears or white chocolate ganache, although making the ganache should be fairly easy. I stuck to the almond cookie fingers and Key Lime pie filling.

I’m honestly not sure if I should say “Nailed It!” now or not, but it tasted good.

If you don’t like almonds or are allergic, or don’t want to spend a lot of money for a tiny bag of almond flour, you can just make a sugar cookie or shortbread cookie. I would have thought these were shortbread, given how nicely they are shaped, but it says “almond cookie,” so I made almond cookies.

I tried to be as “authentic” as my baking skills would allow, so I went all in on the almond cookie.

What you will need:

Preheat oven to 350°.

(Word of advice. Do NOT make these very thick. These cookies spread a lot, so keep them on the thinner side.)

For this, I went with a no-bake version. You could also use a no-bake lime cheesecake recipe if you wish. (I may try that next time, but I was trying to stay closer to the description.)

You will need:

(You might need to double this recipe if you want to make a lot. I made a smaller batch.)

Step 4 may be to go to Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party and buy the real thing from Cosmic Rays. But this may hold you over until then.

Hoping Disney releases the actual almond cookie recipe for these at some point because I would love to know how they held their shape so well.
