Argentines, fans of ice cream.
Dulce de leche to the head
At the Dolce ice cream parlor (@blossom.dolce), which is located in front of the San Isidro Cathedral, dulce de leche-based ice creams are the most popular throughout the year.
They have classic options and others that tempt those with a sweet tooth, such as the Dolce variety that has natural dulce de leche and pieces of artisan brownie.
In addition, at this time some fruit flavors take center stage, such as the refreshing passion fruit ice cream, the raspberry mousse that tempts for its great creaminess and the tasty lemon pie, with lemon curd, crumble and homemade Italian meringue.
It should be noted that they also have vegan and TACC-free creams.
It is in Av. Libertador 16246, San Isidro.
Fresh plant-based creams
Haulani (@haulani_argentina) ice creams are a healthy and nutritious option, made with coconut milk, fresh fruits, quality products and natural sweeteners such as grape must, dates and organic or coconut sugar.
True to the Argentine taste, the favorite flavors are chocolate and dulce de leche, but during the summer pistachio ice cream (made with a natural pistachio paste brought from Italy) and hazelnut cream with chocolate granita are much more popular.
Other suggested options to appease the heat are the lavender & blueberry and the white chocolate with raspberries.
You can try them in closed jars of a single flavor (available online and at different points of sale) or in their Vegan Creamery ice cream parlor, inside the Mercat de Villa Crespo.
At Thames 747, Palermo.
Classic flavors, and others not so much.
Ice cream like in Italy
In the Carriage Market (@mercadodeloscarruajes) –this historic space that has become an attractive gastronomic walk– it is worth visiting Martinelli's place to try sweet specialties from different regions of Italy.
Of course, his proposal could not miss the traditional Italian gelato and among the most refreshing flavors stands out the mango & passion fruit and the Patagonian fruit, both made in water, without dairy or gluten.
Another must-have is the pistachio, with a cream base and natural Italian pistachios.
It is at Leandro N. Alem 852, Retiro.
inevitable classics
At the legendary Chungo ice cream parlor (@heladoschungo), classic flavors occupy the podium of those most chosen by adults and children.
Both the cream varieties and the water options stand out, such as the ever-present dulce de leche granita ice cream, the unctuous lemon mousse (made with milk cream and natural lemon juice), the mascarpone mousse marbled with a homemade berries, the mint hail that is gaining more followers at this time and the most recommended to face the heat: the orange in water with peach.
At Av. San Isidro 4598, Saavedra and more branches.
Dulce de leche tops the ranking.
exotic flavors
In San Telmo, Hierbabuena Vegan (@hierbabuenavegan) proposes innovative 100% plant-based ice creams, made by hand with vegetable milk (almond or chestnut), superfoods, and organic vegetables.
The favorite proposals are the most exotic in their repertoire, such as the avocado ice cream with lime, mint and matcha, which is a hit;
the one with strawberry, beetroot and raspberry that tempts with its sweetness and freshness;
and the peanut paste with caramelized dried fruit, which is an icon of the house.
It is at Av. Caseros 466, San Telmo.
