Red velvet cake – Storm Bros. Ice Cream Factory

Red velvet cake - Storm Bros. Ice Cream Factory
Single scoop $2.90
Storm Bros. Ice Cream Factory, Annapolis MD

This ice cream was pretty good. I liked the flavor of the red velvet cake because it wasn’t too strong (and nauseating like some cake flavored ice cream). I will say that the ice cream was really dense and on the sweet side though.

Hot fudge sundae – Ben & Jerry’s

Hot fudge sundae - Ben & Jerry's
With whipped cream, oreo, and peanuts. $5.99
Ben & Jerry’s, Oxon Hill MD

Mmm, I haven’t had a sundae in a really long time and this one was large and delicious! National Harbor is really touristy but it wasn’t packed during this week night. An ice cream dessert along the waterfront was the perfect way to end the work day!

Valrhona chocolate amargo & lemon ricotta cardamom gelato – Dolcezza

Valrhona chocolate amargo & lemon ricotta cardamom gelato - Dolcezza
Small $5.45
Dolcezza, Washington DC

Well, this was good but not worth the high price tag. I was a little surprised because food in general was cheaper in DC than in SF, but for some reason Dolcezza seems to charge more for their gelato. The flavors were good, but I wasn’t amazed by the texture and probably won’t be running back for more.

Death by Chocolate torte – The Trellis Restaurant

Death by Chocolate torte - The Trellis Restaurant
Seven layer chocolate torte with a hand-rolled white chocolate truffle, chocolate ice cream and dark chocolate sauce. $10.95
The Trellis Restaurant, Williamsburg VA

Wow, talk about a decadent dessert! I liked everything about this torte except for the white chocolate truffle. I’m just not a big fan of white chocolate. Suffice it to say that we couldn’t finish this humongous slice. Noms!

Peach pie ice cream – Nitro’s Creamery

Peach pie ice cream - Nitro's Creamery
On Fridays, there’s a small farmers market outside the Ronald Reagan Building. It was a warm day so I decided to grab one of these ice creams. Since I’m a lover of everything peach, I opted for the peach pie flavor. It was fun to watch her make the ice cream and it tasted great. It had peach bits, peach puree, and pie crumbles. Mmm!

Warm banana bread – 1760

Warm banana bread - 1760
‘Chunky monkey’ ice cream, peanut butter crunch. $9
1760, San Francisco CA

This was probably one of the better dishes I tried at 1760 and I’m not even a huge dessert person. That doesn’t mean that this dessert completely rocked, just that the other dishes weren’t all that good. I’m also a sucker for caramelized bananas! Although the plate was a little messy and chaotic, this dish tasted pretty yummy! (The banana bread could’ve been a little warmer though).

Americano - 1760
Americano. $3

Ferrero indulgence sundae – Chocolate Spoon by Icebergs

Ferrero indulgence sundae - Chocolate Spoon by Icebergs
Vanilla and cookies ‘n cream ice cream, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates, cherry. 185 PHP
Chocolate Spoon by Icebergs, Manila PHILIPPINES

After a long day exploring Robinsons Place Manila, we needed a little treat to keep us going. This sundae did just the trick. I don’t think the ice cream was all that great, but I liked the overall flavor of the sundae.
