Disney Dreamlight Valley: 15 Best Recipes To Sell For Profit (2024)

Cooking meals is one of the best ways to earn a lot of coin - er, Star Coin - quickly. There are a lot of cozy, relaxing things to do in Disney Dreamlight Valley, but awakening your inner chef is super-profitable. The game has hundreds of recipes you can whip up, either at your own cooking station or stove at home, or by heading to Remy's restaurant and scouring his fridge.

Once you've cranked out your practically endless supply of meals, it's time to cash in; but the game won't tell you how much each one will sell for until you've already sunk the time and resources in. Luckily, we're here to help! Here are some of the best recipes, judged by their Energy replenishment potential and Star Coin value.

Updated August 13th, 2024 by Bobby Mills: Dreamlight Valley just gets bigger and bigger – which means its menu of meals does too. Especially with the arrival of the Eternity Isle DLC, and all its myriad natural resources, there's a bulking wealth of culinary options to make even Remy's eyes water. (Perhaps with Tiana's imminent arrival, the rodent will have some competition for his restaurant's monopoly!) We decided it was time to beautify our ranking, so enjoy.

15 Pear Upside-Down Cake

Turn The Market Upside Down

Nestling Pears grow in abundance on Eternity Isle, making them a staple element of the nosh-to-dosh pipeline for those who own the DLC. A single harvest of a pear plant gets you two pears, and you only need one for this particular recipe. Combine it with Wheat and Egg - two equally thrifty ingredients - for an upside-down cake that packs a punch.

Its per-unit sale price is nothing to sneeze at, given the accessibility of the materials: 345 Star Coins apiece, a significant markup on the resources. But its real value comes in how much Energy it'll give you, a whopping 1,300+. It's one of the most cost-effective ways to pump your yellow power bar full – and is a sweet summery treat to boot.

14 Meat Recipes

They'll Make For A Meaty Payday

One of the biggest culinary tweaks Eternity Isle brings to the table is a wholly new ingredient category. When you unlock Gaston and tick off a few of his quests, he'll discover a magical freezer that generates an endless supply of lamb, pork, venison, and beef (thereby neatly sidestepping the issue of which of the Valley's animal villagers might be for the chop). From then on, his lodge is a one-stop shop for all your meaty needs.

It's a protein-based bonanza for your bank account. Combining venison with wheat and lettuce yields a good ol' fashioned burger worth 1400 coins. You can bump that to a staggering 1700 moolah if you add cheese. Likewise, add poultry to lemon, mint, and paprika to make chicken souvlaki, which grants 1816 energy – a hefty snack indeed.

13 Grilled Veggie Platter

Deceptively Simple, Yet Profitable

Given that it's a base-game recipe and one of the earliest ones you can access (indeed, it's a fixture in some tutorial quests), a lot of players sleep on the Grilled Veggie Platter's potential. And sure, if you just use common vegetables to make it, like lettuce, carrots, etc., you won't be making bank.

However, if you know how to play the platter game, you can rake in the dough. Swap those heads of lettuce for a trio of pumpkins or even some of Eternity Isle's produce, and all of a sudden, you've got a versatile recipe that can convert already valuable veggies into cash cows. A Grilled Veggie Platter made with three pumpkins will net you 4,115 Star Coins a pop – so if you have a gigantic grove of gourds, you're in the money!

12 Pineapple Recipes

Do You Like Piña Coladas? Getting Rich In The Rain?

Another crop unique to Eternity Isle, the spiky pineapple is featured in only a handful of recipes, but it represents some of the biggest bang for your buck in the entire game. Granted, you can only harvest one every three hours, but the return is worth it, and you can speed the process by sinking some of your Mist energy into crafting Ancient Machines.

There's the Pineapple Soft Serve, which asks nothing of you other than one pineapple and one helping of slush ice; that'll make you 886 Star Coins, a tidy profit for a 2-star meal. Then you've got the Hawaiian Pizza (let's skip that debate), which demands a larger range of ingredients but which will generate 1577 coins. The pineapple also pops up in the Sweet and Sour Stir Fry, a 5-star meal, which will set Goofy back 2148 smackeroos for every sale.

11 Grilled Here And There Fish

A Gift From Beyond The Void

Another spin on a seemingly innocuous recipe, Here and There Fish requires a bit of questing to unlock. Once you've opened the Lion King realm, retrieved Simba and Nala, and done a few missions for the lioness of Pride Rock herself, these googly-eyed blobfish will begin spawning in every body of water in the Valley (albeit only at specific times of day).

A vanilla Grilled Fish made with garden-variety breeds like Cod or Rainbow Trout isn't going to turn a profit worth writing home about – but if you whip one up with five interdimensional Here and There Fish? Scrooge McDuck's gonna start sweating. This version of the dish sells for 10,400 Star Coins – and if you grind out several schools of the fish and start cooking by the stack, you'll make a cool million effortlessly.

10 Souffle

It Rises, And So Do Your Profits

The souffle, a perennial favourite of Dreamlight Valley grinders, can be crafted with one cheese, egg, milk, and butter. All these ingredients can be purchased from Remy's Restaurant. Remember to upgrade Remy's Restaurant to unlock new ingredients, available on the spice rack behind the counter.

This sweet appetizer is a four-star meal that sells for 1,230 Star Coins. Consuming the meal will give you 2,386 Energy. The ingredients are affordable and simple, making this meal a must-cook no matter what you intend to use it for.

9 Pumpkin Recipes

Where There's A Gourd, There's A Way

Pumpkins are the most popular crop to plant and harvest because they are the most valuable veggie in Disney Dreamlight Valley. One pumpkin seed can be purchased for 275 Star Coins, and each can be harvested and sold for 996 Star Coins each.

Players everywhere are dedicating their Forgotten Lands to planting millions of pumpkins, in order to sell them and become rich. If you cook these pumpkins into platters, as mentioned above, you will become richer than you could ever imagine. Just be sure to bring along a farming buddy.

Both Pumpkin Puffs and Pumpkin Soup can be sold for 1480+ Star Coin and are 3-4 star meals. Pumpkin Puffs require pumpkin, egg, and cheese. Pumpkin Soup requires any vegetable, milk, ginger, and pumpkin.

8 Bunuelos

Julieta Can Make Your Profits Better With Just One Arepa

They all sell for 400+ a pop and grant you 1,000 Energy if consumed.

The best puffs to make and sell are, of course, Pumpkin Puffs at 1,489 Star Coins or Eggplant Puffs at 991 Star Coins. Vegetable puffs require any one of the vegetables, an egg, and cheese. Egg and cheese can be acquired from Remy's and each vegetable will come from Goofy's Stalls around the Valley.

6 Potato Leek Soup

Remy's Debut Special

Potato Leek Soup is a five-star appetizer that you will absolutely want to make. Fun fact: it's the kind of soup Remy cooks to fix Linguini's screw-up in the Ratatouille movie, so it's only fitting it should be a staple in his restaurant. Five-star meals sell for a lot, and are well-regarded as gifts to your favorite villager, to boost their friendship level. You can sell Potato Leek Soup for 1,431 Star Coins, or consume it for 1,984 Energy.

To cook it, you need leek, potato, milk, onion, and garlic. Leek seeds and potato seeds can be found in the Forgotten Lands. Onion seeds belong to the Forest of Valor, and garlic naturally grows there too.

5 Basil Omelet

This Basil Isn't Faulty

A Basil Omelet is super basic; it requires basil, egg, cheese, and milk. Basil can be found growing naturally in Peaceful Meadow, while the latter ingredients can be purchased for dirt cheap from Remy's Restaurant.

This entrée is a four-star meal that sells for 982 Star Coins each. Alternatively, you can consume it to gain 2,035 Energy. Because of its simplicity, you can easily make these in abundance for sweet, sweet sponduli.

4 Fugu Recipes

Just Make Sure You Eat The Right Part Of It

The Fugu fish can only be found when it is raining on Dazzle Beach and you fish in a Gold fishing ring spot. This fish is extremely rare, which is why meals including Fugu are very valuable. In real life, eating fugu is akin to Russian roulette – if the chef hasn't prepared the cut just right, you could end up poisoned. Look out, Valley villagers!

Fugu Sushi requires Fugu, rice, and seaweed. Seaweed can be caught by fishing absolutely anywhere, while rice is bought from Goofy's Stall in Glade of Trust. Fugu Sushi sells for 1,373 Star Coins and replenishes 3,261 Energy.

Steamed Fugu, meanwhile, requires Fugu, ginger, and garlic. Garlic grows in the Forest of Valor, and ginger grows in the Forgotten Lands. Steamed Fugu sells for 1,484 Star Coins and replenishes 3,668 Energy.

3 Lemon Garlic Swordfish

This Fish Always Gets The Point

If you are lucky enough to catch a Swordfish or two, which is tough at the best of times, you should quickly toss it in a boiling pot. The Lemon Garlic Swordfish has very simple ingredients that make a valuable meal. This entrée sells for 1,110 Star Coins and replenishes 3,713 Energy.

To cook this, you need one Swordfish, lemon, and garlic, making for a reliable three-ingredient meal. Lemon trees and garlic, once again, can be found in the Forest of Valor. Swordfish is a rare fish that can be found on Dazzle Beach – but only in golden fishing rings, and even then not all of them. Good luck, and en garde!

2 Lobster Roll

Lobster Is Always So Expensive

The Lobster Roll is a five-star entrée, so you know it's good from a statistical point of view. One plate of Lobster Roll sells for 1,975 Star Coins.

If consumed, this entrée will replenish your Energy by 4,928. You can cook it with one lobster, wheat, lemon, butter, and garlic. Wheat seeds are found in the Peaceful Meadow. Garlic, again, grows in the Forest of Valor along with lemons. Butter is bought from Remy, and it's advisable to buy in bulk as it's such a versatile ingredient. Lobsters can be caught in gold or blue rings in the Glade of Trust; they're also the alligators' favourite food, so use them wisely!

1 Anglerfish Recipes

We're Eating Here Tonight; Yes, Eating Here Tonight

An Anglerfish is quite easy to acquire, so you can collect a bevy of these fish to cook with. There are several meals that use this deep-sea critter, and they sell for 2,200+ Star Coin each. Anglerfish are found in the Forgotten Lands, in golden fishing rings. The ponds in the Forgotten Lands are small and sparse, so you're likely to have a golden ring available whenever you check.

Smoked Peanuts and Anglerfish only require one Anglerfish and a bag of peanuts, which can be bought from Remy's. Pan-Fried Anglerfish requires one Anglerfish, tomato, zucchini, and potato. Tomatoes are from Dazzle Beach, potatoes are from Forgotten Lands, and zucchini come from Sunlit Plateau.
