When I arrived in June I marveled at the amount of ice cream consumed by Germans, young and old, at all times of the day and night, rain or shine. From a simple cone to whopping sundaes topped with cascading fresh whipped cream (Schlag in German), ice cream was everywhere and my resistance was weak.
Not all German ice cream is created equal, however. And after sampling many shops, Kyle and I have chosen a favorite, recommended by the food blog Berlin on a Platter. If I could eat ice cream from Vanille & Marille everyday, I would (only distance and waistlines stop me). And a single dip costs a mere euro. The flavors are sublime: buttermilk honey, spiced plum, strawberry marscapone, to name a few of our recent favorites. Their fruit flavors are some of the most saturated and full-bodied I have tasted--not too sweet and so intensely fruity. Featured below: wild blueberry sorbet with hazelnut crunch ice cream. Yum!
