The Joyful Meal dish is a four-star Dessert that can be made using four simple ingredients:

  • Wheat
  • Blueberries
  • Bananas
  • Raspberries

Toss these four items into any cooking pot around the valley to cook up your desired dish. You can use the cooking station at Tiana’s Palace, Chez Remy, or any other one you may have placed around the village.

Make sure you select the right ingredients carefully, as choosing the wrong one at any step can lead to making other dishes. Fruitcake is an especially similar recipe, so choose the right items with precision.

How to get Wheat in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Wheat is a crop you must plant, grow, and harvest yourself. You can purchase Wheat Seeds from Goofy’s Stall in the Peaceful Meadow and Ancient’s Landing biomes for one Star Coin. These stalls also sometimes have already grown Wheat for sale, but not always.

Once you have the seeds, you can plant this crop anywhere you like, then water it to start the growing process. Wheat only takes a minute to grow, so you’ll have plenty to harvest in no time. Be sure to bring a gardening buddy with you so you can earn some extra Wheat.

How to get Blueberries in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Blueberries can be picked from Blueberry Bushes. You have five of these bushes around your valley, with two starting off in Dazzle Beach and three originating from the Forest of Valor. They can be moved anywhere else in your village, so there’s a decent chance you may have moved them elsewhere. If you’re not sure where to find them, check all spots marked by a Fruit icon on your map.

How to get Bananas in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Bananas grow on Banana Trees you can forage from. There are five trees you can pick this ingredient from, two of which originate from the Peaceful Meadow biome and three of which can be found in the Peaceful Meadow. These can be freely moved around anywhere you like, so if you’re not sure where you placed them, look for the Fruit icon on the map. There are also two bonus Banana Trees you can pick from in the Moana Realm.

How to get Raspberries in Disney Dreamlight Valley

Raspberries can be picked from Raspberry Bushes. Initially, you can find four bushes in the Peaceful Meadow biome and two in the Plaza area. Like all other Fruit trees and bushes, they can be moved around. Look for the Fruit icon on your map to check all spots that have Fruit available for you to harvest.

After you’re done cooking the Joyful Meal recipe, there are lots of other tasks you can work on next. Next, you may want to find all Pillars, complete the Collateral Damage quest, find The Unwritten Realms keys, and learn all Jade Skull riddle answers.
