For the scorching hot heat of Thailand, going for a hot dessert is definitely not an ideal move.
Yet the good news is that apart from Thailand’s traditional coconut milk ice cream, the country is also now home to a variety of other frozen desserts. Whether you crave for gelato, sorbet, sundaes, soft serves, or popsicles, Bangkok churns out some of the best, cold, velvety-luscious treats that won’t fail to please your taste buds. Here is a list of new (and healthy) brands to check out to stay up to date with the city’s ice cream scene.

Clean food devotees, spoon your way through the wide range of less-guilt ice cream at Kure Ice Cream. All flavours contain low calories with no sugar and preservatives or food colouring added. As for the sugar substitute, stevia is used to fuel the dairy with subtle sweetness without being saccharine or cloyingly sugary.
