TimeOut Abu Dhabi – July 24, 2019

The city’s best ice cream

WE KNOW, WE know, the weather has reached

peak heat and humidity here in Abu Dhabi.

But instead of complaining about your

sunglasses steaming up and the trials of living

in a constant bad hair day (that humidity is

nobody’s friend), why not fully embrace and

enjoy the best thing about hot weather: eating

lots of amazing ice cream.

Yes, now is the time of year when we can

justify having at least one scoop (or sundae) a

day, and whether you like your ice cream fresh

and fruity, extra and extravagant or plain and

classic, you’ll find so many delicious variations

here in the capital.

So get ready for the coolest and most

tempting treats of your life, and take your pick

from our top icy concoctions in the city. Just

eat them quickly before they melt. We’ll have

six scoops of salted caramel please...

What’s better than an ice cream on a hot

day? An ice cream shaped like a flower, that’s

what. These “artisanal gelato makers” boast

a massive range of flavours, as well as a

selection of desserts including waffles and

macarons. But really, it’s all about the ice

cream roses. Choose whichever flavours you

like (you needn’t consider colour combos, but

you probably should) and then sit back and

enjoy your floral dessert.

Pralines ’n’ Cream at

Baskin-Robbins

This American ice-cream chain is known for

its “31 flavours” slogan, meaning you can

try a different flavour each day of the month.

Challenge accepted. There are 30 flavours

permanently on the menu with the 31st being

a new one that changes on a monthly basis. If

you’re feeling fancy you can choose toppings

including caramel, chocolate fudge and

strawberry sauces, and if you’re feeling fancier

there’s also a load of sundaes and shakes.
