These Capetonians are doing seriously cool things with ice cream
Crumbs & Cream and Las Paletas are serving up a deliciously different take on ice cream. Hilary Biller gets the scoop from the owners
LAS PALETAS
Las Paletas is the brainchild of husband and wife duo Jason Sandell and Diana Chavarro, who came up with their idea in their Cape Town kitchen in 2012. Inspired by Chavarro's Latin American heritage, they make sorbet and dairy lollies using fruit, herbs, spices, nuts and real dairy. Their recipes are variations on traditional ice cream, frozen yoghurt and fresh fruit juice.
"We had no idea what we actually created back then and that it would lead to the creation of our business we have today," they said.These are no ordinary lollies as they come in an array of exotic flavours. Specialities include guava & cheese, coconut lemonade, pineapple & chilli (yum), berry, gooseberry cheesecake and many more.
The guarantee is that they are 100% natural and free from flavourants, colourants and additives, so it's a guilt-free (well, almost) treat...
