When I was a kid, we only had ice cream in the summer. It never occurred to 10 year old me to question that because summer = ice cream, so not-summer = no ice cream. Looking back, that’s probably a good thing, and my parents making sure that I had a healthy diet is why I am not obese today because goodness knows that if I were left to my own devices, I would’ve had ice cream all the time.

Unfortunately, being a grown adult (although I mostly still feel like a kid), I am now left to my own devices, which means I’M EATING ICE CREAM IN THE WINTER.

Spot Dessert Bar has a number of really yummy dessert small plates. Sometimes, when you’re not in the mood for something so elaborate and just want plain ice cream, Spot is a good place for that as well.

Condensed milk ice cream is my favorite, and I’ve paired it with some crunchy chocolate pearls.

Green tea ice cream is crowd pleaser too, and here we have it with nata de coco, which is a jelly made from coconut water.

Yummy! Anyone else a fan of ice cream in the winter?
