Summer indulgence e comes in many y forms and ice cream takes the cake for satisfying sweet cravings in the season ’ s dog days . Consumers are now screaming for far more than a classic cone – ice cream has elevated to an artisanal snack that hits bitter , salty , sweet and sour . Vendors are embracing the shift and broadening their repertoires to share frosty flavours from around the world . Chaeban Ice Cream imparts its Syrian roots into its abir al sham , crunchy with toasted pistachios and brimming with rose and orange blossom water . Milk snow , a crystallized treat at Snow and Moon Dessert Café is lightly sweetened using red beans , creating a slightly nutty bite . Cacaopat gelati at Nucci ’ s Gelati flirts with undertones of almond and hazelnut while maintaining a potent chocolate taste . Bold matcha ice cream breaks from sweetness at Prairie West – its natural chlorophyll coaxes delicious umami teeming with notes of freshly cut grass . At Not A Waffle , cones are replaced with taiyaki , a soft batter baked into a fish mold . Ube ice cream ’ s notes of nut and vanilla are a perfect companion to the dough . Argentinian mainstay Eva ’ s Gelato and Coffee Bar understands bitter and pours strong specialty coffee alongside sweet and salty gelati like dulce de leche .
