Went to Ice 'n Cake with Shawn last night with only one thing in mind: "Pistachio gelato or go home." I had the hazelnut and Ferrero Rocher last time, and they were very good, but I was determined to get some pistachio. Lo and behold, they still had a third of a vat of Sicilian pistachio left. I guess people don't eat as much gelato when it gets cold out. I'm the total opposite, though: I eat more frozen desserts in the fall and winter than I do in the summer. I guess it's because summer is so sticky, and then frozen desserts melt faster, and then my hands get sticky, and the dessert gets all messy, and then I don't even want to eat anymore. Back to the point. Creamy, sweet, full of nutty flavour, with tiny little bits of pistachio randomly hidden... Now, I am not by any means a gelato expert or connoisseur, but the Sicilian pistachio gelato at Ice 'n Cake is... divine.
My mouth is watering. I must have the hazelnut and Ferrero Rocher! Unfortunately I'll just have to settle for some leftover Halloween chocolates.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a huge gelato person but I do love ice cream. I can eat Hagen Dazs all through the year!
Hey, Liz! I don't have any Halloween chocolates. :( I totally missed the post-Halloween chocolate sales, too. So sad. :(
ReplyDeleteI love gelato, but in small doses, and it has to be freshly made -- no pre-packaged stuff! But for pints, yeah, Haagen-Dazs all the way. I don't know what they put in there, but that stuff never gets freezer burn, even after like, half a year... Mmm, so good...
