Brioche con Dark Chocolate Sorbet
New York Magazine
August 21 , 2019 : GrubStreet the food section of the New York Magazine wrote an article on the "absolute best Ice-Cream Sandwiches" ... guess who is the best ?
" Vegan Avocado gelato "
NEW YORK TIMES
We’ve seen the frozen scooped-out half lemon filled with lemon ices. Giacomo d’Alessandro, an owner of Polosud, a gelateria that opened this summer in Little Italy, has applied that template to avocados. He fills empty avocado shells with lush, creamy and lemony vegan frozen avocado purée. A scooplet of a contrasting flavor, like hazelnut or coffee, simulates the pit.
A custom made Gelato
Pastry chef Giacomo D’Alessandro developed the avocado base using a blend of fresh avocados, water, sugar, lemon, and cinnamon which is scooped into an avocado shell and topped with a “pit” made from gelato.
The unique creation
Non-vegan topping options are available and each Avocado gelato is custom made on demand for every single customer. Prepared in limited edition ... only 40 a day !
