Boy those pics sure made me hungry! Actually, my wife and I just came back home (hungary) from a motorbike trip to Spain and back.... she actually did an eleven country ice cream tour which she calls the Golden Scoop 2010 Ice Cream Tour.... what can I say? She's silly. But very funny, too, if you're interested in taking a gander at her blog of it: (oh, the photos are all mine! :)

Spork also has an Elvis-type concoction: Peanut butter cup (housemade), bananas with caramel and vanilla ice cream. Small portions so the guilt level stays low.

Just the chocolate one for me, I think. Not adventurous enough for the rest of them.

No joke, I currently have a mint It's-It hidden in a box of no-sugar-added Fudgesicles in my freezer. The It's-It gets replaced weekly (nom, nom, nom). The Fudgesicles? Merely housemate camouflage.

For really delicious off-the-wall goodies, go for Cafe Gratitude's raw, vegan tiramisu, chocolate mousse or cheesecake. Awesome taste and health benefits.

I wonder if SF will eventually pass a law banning these confections.
