Recreate the Trending “Pier Runner” Dessert on Your Carnival Cruise
You saw it here first, folks! Embrace Today is the creator of the popular and trending “Pier Runner” cruise dessert made on Carnival Cruise Lines.
The Pier Runner
Description
Experience the ultimate cruise dessert with the Pier Runner: a rich chocolate cake topped with a creamy scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of hot chocolate. The warm cake and cold ice cream create a delightful contrast, while a sprinkle of toasted nuts adds a satisfying crunch. This decadent dessert is a perfect blend of textures and flavors, ideal for any chocolate lover’s dream.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Grab a bowl from the buffet line.
- Get a slice of the chocolate cake of the day from The Sweet Spot.
- Add chocolate ice cream from the Swirls soft-serve machine.
- Pour on some hot chocolate at the beverage station.
- Top with some chopped walnuts from the salad bar.
Tips for the Perfect “Pier Runner”
- Start with a full-sized bowl: The small yellow cups kept near the ice cream dispenser won’t be big enough to contain all the chocolate-y goodness!
- Choose your Chocolate Cake wisely: The Chocolate Decadence is especially good, but the German Chocolate Cake will work in a pinch.
- Just Tap the Hot Chocolate Button: Carnival’s Hot Chocolate machines tend to continue pouring for a few seconds after releasing the button. Just tap the button and you’ll get the perfect amount!

Pairing Suggestions
- Coffee or Espresso: The rich chocolate flavor pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or a shot of espresso.
- Red Wine: For a more sophisticated touch, a glass of red wine can complement the chocolate’s depth.
Bon appétit!
