We’ve found the dessert you’ll want to try! It’s Catrina-shaped ice cream, perfect for kicking off the Day of the Dead season.
It’s an intricately detailed dark chocolate skull, complete with a wreath of flowers and tiny skulls. It’s served in cookie cones.
If you prefer, you can order yours served directly on a bed of delicious whipped cream.
These artisanal ice creams come in classic flavors, including dark chocolate, strawberry, lemon, and “beso de ángel.”
Each scoop is carefully shaped to replicate the features of the iconic Mexican figure, creating an unusual presentation within a conventional ice cream shop.
Catrina-shaped ice creams, traditional popsicles, and exotic flavors
Beyond the catrinas, this local business stands out for its wide selection of ice pops.
With over 100 flavors available, the options include traditional recipes made with water and milk, as well as sugar-free alternatives.
The display cases feature popsicles that incorporate whole slices of fresh fruit, such as kiwi and strawberry.
On the menu, you’ll also find a selection of exotic flavors that incorporate traditional drinks and unexpected ingredients.
Among the less conventional creations are michelada popsicles, strawberry-mango pulque popsicles, and fig-mezcal popsicles.
They also offer an artisanal version of the classic Paleta Payaso, covered in chocolate and decorated with the characteristic smiling face made of gummy candies.
