Social Distancing Kitchen: How to make Disney World's Tonga Toast
It's time for another episode of Social Distancing Kitchen, in which we bring theme park magic to your home, even when the parks are closed, by showing you how to make some of your favorite theme park food.
Today, it's Tonga Toast from the Kona Cafe in Disney's Polynesian Resort at Walt Disney World. Again, this is the official recipe from Disney and makes four pieces of toast.
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 bananas
1 sourdough loaf
3 cups canola oil
Directions:
Heat the oil to 350F.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together for the coating.
Peel and slice the bananas - once in the middle and once lengthwise - to create eight banana segments.
Cut a two-inch-thick slice of the bread, then cut a pocket in the side of the slice, in which to stuff two banana segments. Repeat to make four pieces of toast.
Drop each slice into the hot oil and fry for about one minute on each side, until golden. Turn up the burner after adding each slice to maintain the oil temperature.
Carefully remove the toast from the oil, then coat with cinnamon sugar. Serve with fruit or syrup, if desired.
Time for breakfast... and some theme park magic!

Thank you, Robert, for this fun video and recipe. I’m grateful that you keep putting content out so I can feel a tinge of the Disney spirit while the world shuts down. Keep up the great work.
Thank you for doing these. It has been nice to get a "taste" of Disney during all of this craziness (pun intended). It brightens my day a little when I see one posted!
Big fan of this series! Can’t wait to try this at home...where I’m at and shouldn’t leave...
