| - Every so often a new place will open in the Las Vegas area, and Yelpers go nuts over it. The latest golden child of the Vegas Yelp community is Frost Bites Shavery, which serves up snow cream. And I am thrilled to say that Frost Bites Shavery completely lives up to the hype!! (And, not gonna lie, I am pretty stoked that it's out in Old Henderson on Boulder Highway cuz that's my 'hood!)
I had no clue what snow cream was, and was so pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture when Jaime W. and I stopped by on a Saturday to try it out. The side of the Frost Bites truck describes snow cream as "when ice cream and shaved ice fell in love, got married, and had a baby" which sums it up perfectly. This is nothing like the crunchy, sickeningly sweet, artificially flavored snow cones some places are serving up. Frost Bites snow cream is light and airy while remaining creamy and rich... And the best part? It's ALL NATURAL. It's also surprisingly low calorie!!
The owners, Will and Mike, explained that each flavor only has 4 ingredients and they do not use any powders to flavor their cream. So, as much as they would like to offer other flavors, they chose to stick with only offering up what they can make naturally which I think is amazing. I wish more places were like this. The same is true with their toppings, only fresh fruits are offered up here, no 'frost bitten' strawberries to be found here!
After trying almost every favor, I settled on coconut. Topped with pineapple, mochi and condensed milk it tasted like I was on a tropical island, not sitting in a parking lot overlooking Boulder Highway. It was so delicious, I had to go back the next day for another one, and I am already planning what flavor combinations to try on my future visits.
Will and Mike are extremely friendly, kind and professional guys... Will was very open and honest with us about what toppings he recommends with what flavors, which he does not recommend, and he even said he would work on getting some popping boba as a topping!! They really want honest feedback, and I never have a problem with giving constructive criticism, but there is really nothing to improve upon here. More chairs to sit in perhaps?
Hendertucky may not be your 'hood, but I promise you that no matter what part of town you live in, Frost Bites is worth the drive. Make sure to get a punchcard when you do!
