Summer in the city can‘t go by without refreshing ice cream, but this year, many confectioneries across the country have raised the bar and delighted us with unusual, exotic flavors that will surely win over even the most demanding sweet tooths. If until now you mostly chose between vanilla and chocolate, it‘s time to play the card of true gourmet experience because the current offer includes flavors that are anything but simple and boring.

Slatka priča (Sweet Story)

The Zagreb confectionery Slatka priča offers two new flavors: acai and mango-coconut. Maybe you‘ve already heard of acai through the popular acai bowl – colorful, Instagram-worthy bowls that have recently become a real hit among healthy lifestyle lovers. But acai is much more than a healthy trend. It‘s a dark purple berry that comes from Brazil, where it is consumed daily – in smoothies, desserts, and even in savory dishes. It is rich in antioxidants, fiber, calcium, magnesium, iron, vitamin E, and proteins, and here it‘s most often available in dried form as a powder, which many use in healthy sweet recipes. And now, for the first time – as ice cream.

At Slatka priča, they‘ve created an exotic ice cream from this berry that is at the same time light, refreshing, and full of character. Its subtle berry flavor and mild earthy note make it perfect for those who want a dessert that‘s both interesting and healthy.

PRIVATE ARCHIVE

If you‘re in the mood for something sweeter, there‘s also the other flavor, coconut-mango, which Slatka priča will start serving from next week, and this combination of creamy coconut and juicy mango is made for hot summer days we‘ve already stepped into. While coconut gives this ice cream a rich, smooth texture and gentle, slightly nutty aroma, mango, on the other hand, brings juiciness and natural sweetness with a hint of tangy freshness.

Sisters Kurtoš

The Slovenian bakery Sisters Kurtoš, which opened last year in Zagreb, has some interesting ice cream flavors in its summer offer. One of them is Mamma mia – a flavor that brings together summer and luxury in every bite in the best possible way. Crispy, freshly baked kurtoš sprinkled with almonds is filled with creamy Greek yogurt and strawberry ice cream, then topped with homemade strawberry sauce. For the finishing touch, the dessert is decorated with a light cream cheese frosting with refreshing lime and mint.

There‘s also Pistachio Apricot Bloom – a new summer ice cream that perfectly combines rich pistachio and refreshing apricot in an irresistible, creamy combination. Just like the previously mentioned Greek yogurt and strawberry flavor, this exotic ice cream is also served in a warm, freshly baked kurtoš. It‘s sprinkled with biscuit and apricot crumbs, and everything is decorated with a colorful pistachio and apricot cream and a bit of cream flowers.

Boogie Lab

This summer, Zagreb bakery Boogie Lab hasn‘t disappointed when it comes to ice cream, bringing several fresh and irresistible frozen novelties that will perfectly cool us during hot days. Besides the refreshing Frozen Yogurt with raspberries ice cream, in which raspberry gel and powder blend perfectly with fresh mint for a true fruity and light experience, there‘s also Gianduja Ice Cream. This is a creamy ice cream made from gianduja – a sweet chocolate hazelnut spread, which at Boogie is served with a crunchy cone, milk chocolate caramel, and toasted hazelnuts.

For all those who love unusual combinations, Croissant Ice Cream brings a unique sweet treat – croissant ice cream combined with puff pastry, dark chocolate glaze, and fresh seasonal fruit, which perfectly rounds off the whole story.

Gelateria Emiliana

Gelateria Emiliana is already well known in Split for its special and top-quality ice creams that primarily win over with unique flavors, but also with quality. Among their latest hits is the irresistible combination Warm Nutella + Gelato – warm, rich Nutella pairs perfectly with cold, creamy flavors, creating the perfect blend we can‘t wait to try ourselves.

Gelateria aMare

Another Split confectionery that‘s definitely worth visiting this summer especially delights with its exotic and unusual flavors. Among them stands out the real hit of the season – bajadera. This ice cream is named after the favorite box of chocolates that for years has been synonymous with the perfect combination of chocolate and nuts. It comes in two versions – in a refreshing cup or crispy cone, giving everyone a chance to enjoy this creamy, nutty, and chocolaty flavor.

With its rich and complex texture, bajadera ice cream perfectly evokes the well-known taste of this favorite dessert, bringing true summer refreshment that will satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooths. It‘s the ideal combination of sweet, creamy, and slightly crunchy, making it an irresistible choice for hot summer days and for all those who want a taste of tradition in a modern edition.
