Sorvetology, part 5

The latest installment on the ice cream sampling. I've started to double up on the scoops because otherwise I won't make it through all 49 flavors and be able to return to my favorites.

Ameixa: prune.

Amendoim: peanut, but more like super creamy peanut butter. Very good.

Brigadeiro: type of chocolate.

Café: coffee. Almost excluded because it is too tame, I figured that after all this is Brazil, the world's #1 coffee producer. And there were chocolate chips.

Cairú: coconut with chocolate shavings. Tasty but I expected something more imaginative for the namesake of the ice cream chain.

Coco: coconut.

Floresta Negra: black forest, but with maraschino cherries instead of raspberries.

Queijo: cheese. Kind of gross and definitely too much for an entire scoop. Much better as part of the Romeo e Julieta flavor, which paired the cheese ice cream with guava jelly.

Manga: mango.

Sapotilha: not sure what this is, but it was fruity and tasted like banana.

Look for the "Mousse de Maracujá." I think its some combination of cheese and maracujá. Good stuff.

No mousse here, just the pure maracujá, which is one the few that remain.
