I’ve talked about them before, but boy is Blockheads yummy. I had never heard of snow cream before and a lot of people mistake Blockheads for a shave ice place. Not true. Snow cream is unlike anything out there, but it’s most like ice cream. Imagine taking a frozen block of ice cream and shaving it like deli meat, as thin as you possibly could. It comes out creamy, fluffy, soft, and amazing. I also love the fun flavors (often Asian-inspired) like black sesame, green tea, mango, or taro. Oh, and the toppings! I highly recommend the rice cakes they make in house and I always get some toffee crunch for a different texture. YUM. Here you can see the original I got today, with honey boba, rice cakes, toffee crunch, and condensed milk drizzle. Snow cream is indescribably great.

It was about a year ago when I was first introduced to Blockheads, this mysteriously new dessert place that was all the craze. Maven took me there upon discovering that I, his foodie friend, hadn’t tried it yet!! This whole “snow cream” idea was something new to me – I knew ice cream and I knew shave ice, but shaved ice cream?? I had to see what the fuss was all about. The moment I tried it, I was blown away. From then on it was a long-distance addiction for me. I live too far to justify going there whenever I want, but when I get a chance, I always stop by.
