Tenochtitlan (pronounced Ten-Oh-Teetch-Lan) Sundae

Our Aztec Temple of Chocolate builds upon our Spicy Hot Chocolate Ice Cream Pyramid surrounded by a moat of Hot Fudge memorializing Moctezuma, an offering of Cocoa-Dusted Peppercorns and Crunchy Cayenne Spanish Peanuts, set ablaze in Cinnamon Whipped Cream and studded with a Golden Coin of dark chocolate.

Steven Foster’s Banana Cake Ice Cream

Stephen Foster, a native Pennsylvanian, is considered the father of American song-writing. A little known fact holds that “Oh Susanna!” was debuted in 1847 at an ice cream saloon in Pittsburgh. We’ve honored Foster’s contributions to Americana with a melody of sweet flavor; delicious brown buttered banana rum cake twirling throughout. We do think you will be pleased with this gustatory sing-a-long.

Mid-Winter Glogg Sorbet

Hot Chocolate Ice Cream

Inspired by our luscious Aztec sipping Hot Chocolate at Shane’s Chocolate Café – Heated by Guajillo and Arbol Chilis perfumed by Cinnamon & Vanilla, this seasonal ice cream will challenge preconceptions of cool creamy sweetness and warm the tongue & throat like no other concoction. Pairs well with Vanilla & Maple Walnut Ice Creams & melts graciously into to steamy cups of cocoa.
