Mexican ice cream

[BecxyRex]

Seriously, why is Mexican ice cream better than any other ice cream I've had? I discovered these Mexican coconut popsicles and I'm not able to stop eating them. It's a serious problem, they're like crack.

Um, so now you have to tell me where you buy these crazy delicious Mexican coconut popsicles. Like, now.

They came out with mayonnaise flavored ice cream. Can't imagine that's too addictive.

We had a paletero man in the neighborhood I grew up in. Just an older dude who pushed an ice cream cart along. For the longest time, I thought I hated all the ice cream he had simply because I was a little kid and everyone who let me try theirs got coconut or watermelon. Then I saw a kid get a cool looking red / orange swirled one which was mango and chile. Became the dude's #1 customer after that experience.

 

I live in a Domincan neighborhood now, so no more paletero man. We do have an older dude who sits out on the corner with ice and syrups to make snow cones with. Not the same, but it hits the spot when it's needed.

One of the few good memories I have of my father is riding a horse on the beach in Mexico with him and stopping to buy ice cream from a cart with an umbrella. I didn't care for the chunks of fruit in the ice cream but the ice cream itself was fantastic.

that is the world's most enduring questions..

What about fried ice cream? How does it even exist? Why is it so good when made right there at a restaurant and not out of a box?

Fried ice cream is where it is! Now I’m going for it tonight. Thanks for the cravings!

 

Also, churros. Mexican food is the best.
