Pixelita Helados

The 23 Best Restaurants in Montevideo, Uruguay | Eater

"The cook and pastry chef Pia Morosini, who also goes by the pseudonym Lady Pixelita, has worked with Francis Mallmann and Ignacio Mattos, the New York-based Uruguayan chef-owner of Estela, among others. An ever-curious globetrotter, she trained as an ice cream maker in Italy, before bringing her Pixelita brand artisanal ice cream and sorbet project to Uruguay. Her products are free of preservatives, dyes, and artificial flavorings. They’re sold via social media and email, but you can also pick up a scoop at the shop in the Nuevo Pocitos neighborhood. In addition to classics such as dulce de leche and seasonal fruit sorbets, Morosini recently developed flavors with inspiration from classic cocktails, like lemon and vermouth, grapefruit and Campari, and peach and amaretto. — MB" - Marcela Baruch
