Tamale ice cream in CDMX? Yes, it exists and you can try it now! It is a dessert that comes in different presentations: in a milkshake, with crepes or directly in the tamale leaf.
Candlemas Day is just around the corner and in CDMX there will be several gastronomic events dedicated to tamales (such as the party at Los Pinos or the gastronomic fair at the National Museum of Popular Cultures). But that’s not all, there are also seasonal dishes like this sweet tamale-flavored ice cream.
Where is tamale ice cream sold in CDMX?
You will find this dessert at Meyvi Helados branches and it will be available until February 20, 2025. You still have plenty of time to try this dessert. It’s worth mentioning that the ice cream has two main ingredients: milk and pieces of sweet tamale. That’s right: not only does it taste like tamales, but it is composed of tamales.
