Starting next week, the contemporary Mexican chain eatery Rosa Mexicano will kick off its month-long annual Ice Cream Festival in the Seaport. Every summer, the restaurant features a series of special “Flavors of Mexico a la Mode” desserts inspired by classic savory dishes like guacamole, tamales and even, empanadas. The desserts are all paired with handmade ice creams infused with Mexican flavors ranging from sweet corn-caramel to chili-spiced chocolate.
If you’re not sure what that looks like – think: Guacamole sundaes, Mexican chocolate banana splits and empanadas with Mexican chocolate sauce – oh my!
The special Ice Cream Festival menu will be available July 1-31. For a sneak peek at the full Ice Cream Festival menu, check below.
