| - I needed a frost bite as the sun deathrayed me in the parking lot at Boulder Highway and Palo Verde! I had never heard of snow cream before last week, but I love supporting local businesses and Eric R. has a new fascination with taking me on dates on Boulder Highway, so I dragged him away from his studies to grab a refreshing treat in the afternoon.
We immediately ran into one of his coworkers (whom I had never met) from SUMMERLIN who drove all the way here to try this place since he had snow cream in LA. Random! We were given lots of FREE samples to try as first-timers, including green tea (deliciously unsweetened), black sesame, coconut, and mango. Wow! I liked them all and immediately was in a conundrum...what to choose? We let Eric's coworker go first, and he had his wife's order ready first (she was keeping cool in the car). After they ordered, I finally decided on a regular size coconut with MOCHI and strawberry condensed milk. Eric R. got mango with pineapples and condensed milk. We were both moaning with snowy pleasure at each bite, even though we stood in the sun (he apparently likes the outdoor sauna, but I only had face sunscreen on!) and chatted with his coworker and his wife.
The owners asked Eric's coworker for feedback based on his tasting of snow cream in LA. They told us of the long amount of time spent perfecting the texture, and mother nature approves! My friend Heather K. who some of you have met at Trivia night and 21 elite event lives around the corner from here so I told her to hurry up and get some black sesame!
All of the fruit toppings are FRESH and the flavors are not too sweet, which I prefer. Eric R. wanted something sweet but he already has me so he can just deal. I think next time we want to try the vanilla and the ex-strawbinerry, but I may end up with green tea because I just love it. This is the place that will add mileage to many west-siders' cars soon enough!!
UPDATE 6/2 (yes the next day!): I had the ex-strawbinerry with strawberries and strawberry condensed milk soooo good and then Sarah-Marie V. bought me a vanilla with almonds and caramel. The vanilla dream was soooooo gooooood. That is all.
