While we don’t have too much longer to wait for autumn to come, summer and hot weather are still in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere, leading many of us to look for anything that can help us cool off.
Here are three frozen treats from around the world that you’re guaranteed to find fascinating.
Mochi Ice Cream
Popular in Japan, this frozen dessert incorporates a traditional sticky and sweet rice cake called mochi, which is folded around a ball of ice cream and frozen. It comes in all kinds of delicious flavors including chocolate and green tea.
Sno-Balls
This is an extremely regional frozen dessert which is beloved in the American city of New Orleans in the summer. Consisting of finely shaved ice which is flavored with sugar cane syrup, it’s the perfect way to beat the Big Easy heat.
Affogato
Affogato is an Italian favorite that is as simple as a shot or two of espresso poured on top of a ball or two of vanilla ice cream or gelato. It’s the perfect combination of a caffeine jolt and a sweet, cold treat.
