Aunt Stelle's Sno-Cones

2002 W. Clarendon Dr. Oak Cliff/South Dallas

214-946-1431

Dessert, Ice Cream

Colds and flu viruses monopolize the short fall and winter seasons. However, snow-cone stands, like this Oak Cliff operation, have a hold on the extensive inferno under which Dallasites roast most of the year. This summer chiller is a neighborhood institution and has been in business for more than four decades. It's only open from the final Sunday in April to Labor Day. So, if you're not in line by 9 p.m., or by the time the sign's lights are turned off, forget about enjoying the endless and dirt-cheap flavors, like the popular coconut. Someone will turn you away. They sell more than flavored ice from the hand-painted menu. The owners also offer customer favorites the Pink Lady (vanilla ice cream flavor) and a root beer float.

Dessert, Ice Cream, Best Of, Menu

Who wants ice cream in the middle of winter? We want it when it's 100-plus degrees, when our thighs stick to the patio chairs and nothing sounds better than cold refreshment. Sure, you can get a grainy, chemical-tasting shake at some fast-food drive-through, but why would you when many Braum's are open till 11 p.m.? When they scoop up that real, thick, premium ice cream into that shake-maker, we immediately start to salivate. You may face long lines (especially late at night), but when they hand you that freshly swirled, too-thick-to-use-a-straw concoction, you'll know it was worth the wait.

Casa Del Bro

5444 FM 423 Frisco

469-200-5570

Ice Cream, Tex-Mex, Best Of

Rafael and Kristen Alvarez opened Casa Del Bro in Frisco in early 2020 as an extension of three things they really love: healthy food, good ice cream and family (they have five kids). And as far as we can taste, it's all come together perfectly.

The service model here is reminiscent of Chipotle, with build-your-own versions of nachos, burritos and tacos. But it’s the end of the meal that sets this place apart from the rest, along with the finger-skating park. (Yes, there’s a full-blown finger-skating park inside the restaurant.)

Fresh, home-made ice cream is just as good, if not better, than the savory fare here. Make sure to save room for dessert, or even better, just have dessert.

Churn and Bake

2707 W.15th St. Plano

469-277-6098

Ice Cream, Asian, Best Of

Churn and Bake has 20-plus flavors of ice cream. A list of top five flavors is displayed outside the parlor’s front doors. With flavors like Vietnamese Rocky Road, ube coconut crunch and Thai tea, we’re not sure if the list is meant to guide you or make the choice harder.

The Vietnamese Rocky Road here is a must-try. The ice cream base is infused with Vietnamese coffee beans for a deep coffee flavor. This top-selling flavor comes with a condensed milk ribbon and chocolate-coated cookies for a satisfying crunch in each bite. We found another favorite in the creamy PB&J, which comes with a sweet cream base studded with peanut-flavored crunchies. A grape jelly swirl and chunks of a homemade sandwich transport you back to the days of kindergarten lunchtime.

Ice cream isn’t the only art that Churn and Bake has mastered. The second part of the parlor’s name merits a taste of the baked goods here. Start with the ube cookie, a purple-yam flavored cookie that comes with chunks of Oreos buried inside.

Other unique flavors include chocolate chip sesame, a matcha-cranberry and even brown-butter miso. Ask for these to be warmed up, if you prefer your cookies hot. They’re gooey on the inside and crunchy on the outside: a deathly addicting combination.

The Dolly Llama

2817 Howell St. Suite 210 Uptown/Oak Lawn

972-982-2922

Ice Cream

The Dolly Llama is a waffle house and ice cream shop with, at times, over-the-top pairings that serve up a whale load of sugar. Lesssgooo!

The Dolly Llama’s signature bubble waffles are a lighter waffle based on a popular Hong Kong street food. These are served warm with a scoop of ice cream and other toppings — ranging from creamy to crunchy to soft (photo at top).

The Dolly Llama also sells its “OG Liege Waffles,” which are slightly crispier and tougher to the bite than the bubble counterparts. Both types of waffles offer a variety of toppings, as well as a create-your-own option for the more adventurous. As the website puts it, Dolly Llama offers an “interactive environment” for all ages. The menu here is your playground.

If you’re having trouble deciding, try the best-selling Dolly Dream Waffle, which comes with a perfectly round scoop of cookie monster ice cream topped with strawberry slices, brownie pieces and a Nutella drizzle. Eat sparingly though: the signature blue ice cream will stain anything and everything, from lips to teeth to clothing.

Even if you’re just craving an old-fashioned milkshake or scoop of ice cream, The Dolly Llama has you covered. They offer well-sized portions and often there's enough to share.

Ked's Artisan Ice Cream and Treats

6025 Coit Road, #344 Plano

972-673-0285

Ice Cream

Ked’s Artisan Ice Cream Shop is serving more than 95 flavors of ice cream many which are inspired by flavors from the owner's hometown in India. Ked's offers an extensive menu of ice cream, waffles and crepes with influences from regions in India, Persia, Latin America and beyond.

A fan favorite is the Persian Delight, a rich saffron-flavored ice cream dotted with crushed almonds and pistachios. If you’re feeling even more adventurous, visitors can get a scoop of the Sapota fruit ice cream, a tropical fruit flavor vaguely reminiscent of the more well-known sweet potato. One thing is clear: Whether you try a flavor inspired by the southern hemisphere, the northern, or something in between; the possibilities at Ked’s are quite literally endless.

Be sure to try the cassata, a layered ice cream dessert. The Indian equivalent of ice cream cake, Ked’s cassata features colorful bands of rose, pistachio and malai ice cream lined with a moist sponge cake base. Don’t be deterred if the rainbow-colored dessert appears like something out of a My Little Pony movie.

Italians’ answer to Baskin-Robbins, Paciugo’s got waaaay more than 31 flavors. This is gelato, not ice cream; that means it’s made with milk instead of cream, which means that flavors aren’t dulled by a massive dose of milk fat, and served at a slightly warmer temperature, which means it’s ultra creamy. It also has 70 percent less fat than typical ice cream. Try up to three flavors in your cup or cone, from crowd pleasers like stracciatella (that’s a fancy way of saying chocolate chip), pistachio, and Mediterranean sea-salt caramel to more intriguing flavors like bubblegum, rose and beer sorbet. There’s also at least one soy-based flavor on offer every day, for you poor lactose-intolerant folk.

Parlor's Ice Creams

6465 E. Mockingbird Lane, #465 White Rock Lake Area

214-281-5057

Ice Cream

Parlor’s Ice Creams is just west of White Rock Lake (in the Hillside Village Shopping Center) serving nostalgic flavors ranging from milk and cookies to strawberries and cream. They mix, pasteurize and freeze all of their ice creams in-house: a supply standard few other ice cream shops in Dallas can uphold.

Parlor’s raw ingredients are sourced from local Dallas farms and growers, including grass-fed cows for the milk and cream, as well as eggs from pasture-raised chickens.

Start with a scoop of the milk and cookies ice cream, a vanilla-flavored ice cream with fresh baked cookies lodged in the crevices. The base here is more subtle than your typical vanilla, providing a neutral background for the real star of the show, the cookie. It’s like dunking a warm cookie into a cold glass of milk but all the leg work has already been done for you.

Another customer favorite is the cookies and cream, an Oreo-flavored ice cream base studded with house-made Oreo cookies.

Steel City Pops

2012 Greenville Ave. East Dallas & Lakewood

Ice Cream, Restaurants, Recommended, Best Of, Menu, Slideshow, Readers' Choice

Chances are, if the weather is warm, there’s at least a short line leading to the counter of Steel City Pops, where you will find the ice pop of your dreams. The menu is divided into creamy and fruity sections, and either will change your understanding of what a frozen treat on a stick should be. Buttermilk evokes a tangy cheesecake made of satin, and avocado, though the unsettling color of guacamole, is equally refreshing. Peanut butter slowly melts away like a cherished summer memory and the sour cream and cherry pairs a familiar sweetness with an unexpected tang. Fruity pops offer household flavors like strawberry and lemonade, while blueberries are reinvented with basil, pineapple is given a subtle kiss from jalapeño and cucumber and lime taste like a cool, spring breeze even on the hottest of days. Whatever flavor you order, expect a velvety texture that melts gently and evenly, blanketing the mouth in a soft slick of flavors that can be absolutely hypnotizing.

Surreal Creamery

6915 Hillcrest Ave. Park Cities

Ice Cream

While the idea for Surreal Creamery was birthed in New York City, portions — it seems — are Texas-sized. Even smaller-sized cups and cones overflow with mounds of soft serve and toppings. While it means it’s messier to eat, it also means that Surreal caters particularly well to those who want to swap out an entire meal in favor of dessert.

The chain, which has locations in five different states and 13 cities, is notorious for its Mason jar desserts, which come stacked about 5 to 6 inches with layers of swirled ice cream. Choose from flavors like a purple taro, earthy matcha or a lightly flavored Earl Grey vanilla.

The tall swirls are coated in different flavored syrups and then showered in toppings like Oreo crumbles and crushed Biscoff. The soft serve here is dangerously melty, drippy and sticky if held on to for too long. These desserts make a great model for the camera lens, before quickly thawing into a milky puddle. But we wanted to see if they taste as good as they look.

A “Know Your Roots'' sundae naturally catches the eye when menu-browsing. The signature creation starts with a taro-flavored soft serve base packed with Cinnamon Toast Crunch, rolled in chocolate cookie crumble then drenched in a thick chocolate syrup. The taro root extract provides a clever name and a light purple tint to the sundae, which makes it stand out from its siblings on the menu.

A bright blue ‘Nom Nom Cookie’ sundae is just as visually appealing, jacketed in layers of cookie cereal and marshmallows.

Sure, it's all about frozen yogurt at TCBY, which stands, as most Dallas / Fort Worth] fans know, for The Country's Best Yogurt. Founded in Arkansas in 1981 on the cutting edge of the nation's fro-yo boom, the chain offers soft-serve bowls of flavors like Cake Batter and Caramel Supreme, and waffle cones crammed with Dutch Chocolate and Mango Sorbet. But TCBY also stands for Beriyo Smoothies, made with natural fruit juices, frozen berries, and loads of add-your-own boosts and vitamin supplements. Custom cakes and pies are another option, and a long line of "Chillers"—iced and blended coffee and frappe drinks—are also available. The nutritional value of everything, including the massive heaps of different toppings, is included on an in-store list. TCBY is easy to find on Voice Places.

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

3699 McKinney Ave. Uptown/Oak Lawn

972-982-0232

Ice Cream

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream makes all of its ice creams from scratch with nothing but milk, cream, eggs and cane sugar (or coconut, cashew and oats for the vegan counterparts). What’s more, the diet-friendly ice cream shop labels its entire menu with common allergens, including tree nuts, coconut, gluten, peanuts, and soy.

The phrase, “If you have a mouth, we have a flavor," is written in bold on the shop’s menu and is, quite frankly, a pretty good description.

Van Leeuwen’s ice cream menu may be one of the most extensive in Dallas to date, featuring over 27 flavors to choose from and that’s before the toppings. As if choosing a flavor wasn’t daunting enough, the ice cream shop boasts two separate menus, with one dedicated to vegan ice cream.

Ice cream at Van Leeuwen is served by the cup or cone, in singles, doubles or trios . Additionally, dessert-lovers can choose to have their ice cream as a sundae or lick it from between a cookie sandwich. Regardless of presentation, it’s clear that the ice cream here is the star of the show.
