The King Dressed-Up Scoop from Quality Meats Miami Beach
Summer is officially here in Miami, and with temps climbing as high as (gasp!) 90+ °F, we need a little ice cream to cool us down.
Craving a cold scoop on a warm Miami day? These ice cream desserts should do the trick. Read below to find out where to get them—and of course, why just one scoop is almost never enough. Happy summer!
Affogato al Caffè
Segafredo l’Originale
Want to cool down and wake up at the same time? Get this caffeine-fueled ice cream dessert, which serves a scoop of vanilla ice cream with a shot of hot espresso and your choice of Grand Marnier or Baileys.
Thai Tea Mille-Feuille
NaiYaRa
Chef Bee knows a thing or two about interesting flavor combinations, and this Asian ice cream dessert is proof that he’s nailed it. This dessert combines caramelized phyllo with housemade coconut ice cream and salted toffee.
The King Dressed-Up Scoop
Quality Meats Miami Beach
Dress up your dessert with this royal sundae, which tops homemade peanut butter-banana sorbet with caramel bananas, candied peanuts, cinnamon toast, and brown-sugar bacon.
Ice Cream Cookie Sampler
Tacology
What’s better than ice cream? Ice cream and cookies! This platter of ice cream sandwiches comes with four iterations of the classic sweet treat: chocolate cookies with chocolate ice cream, chocolate-chip cookies with vanilla ice cream, matcha cookies with frozen yoghurt, and salted cookies with “cajeta” ice cream. (Added bonus: everything is made in house!)
Lemon Bar
Scarpetta by Scott Conant
Perfect for spring or summer, this citrus Scarpetta dessert tops a lemon bar with fresh honeycomb and housemade blueberry-thyme ice cream.
Ice Cream or Sorbet
Jaya at The Setai
We know what you’re thinking: “I can get plain ice cream anywhere!” Not like this, you can’t. At this Indian-fusion restaurant, pick three housemade scoops in unexpected flavors, like Vanilla Bean, Avocado-Thai Chili, Salted Caramel, Curry Double Chocolate, Ube (Purple Yam), Pineapple, Coconut Green Tea, and Mandarin ice cream, or a Lemon Yoghurt Sherbet.
Miso Vanilla
Nobu Miami
This sweet, cold dessert comes with a kick, as it combines dulce de leche ice cream made in house with lady fingers, miso crumble, miso caramel, sable, a Suntory Whisky ganache, and vanilla mascarpone cream.
Happy dining!
