New Sugar Land Ice Cream Shop Allows Diners To Customise Their Own Paletas | Eater Houston

"Known for its large Mexican-style paletas made with all-natural ingredients and a hybrid of Italian gelato and French sorbet, Morelia Gourmet Paletas sells super-fancy candy-covered paletas and other frozen treats. I note the original shop opened in Coral Gables, Florida back in 2016 and the company has since expanded to nine locations throughout Florida, six in the Dominican Republic, two in Mexico, and one in Charlotte, North Carolina. Flavors range from fruit- and cream-based classics like chocolate, coconut, and strawberry to imaginative options such as passionfruit filled with condensed milk and Greek yogurt with wild berries. They give paletas an ice cream-shop treatment with an assembly-line customization process—pick it, dip it, and top it—letting customers load up toppings like Oreos, sprinkles, and cookie butter and finish with a Nutella drizzle; special menu items include a paleta sandwich and a s'mores paleta coated with toasted marshmallow fluff and a sprinkling of ground graham cracker. The Sugar Land location will be at First Colony Mall, 16155 City Walk and is slated to open this December (the piece notes it's expected to open sometime next month)." - Polly Anna Rocha
