Azucar Ice Cream

16 Restaurants That Could Only Exist In Miami - Miami - The Infatuation

"Growing up in Miami means crumbling Maria cookies over peaks of ice cream, mixing in cubes of guava paste when it softens, and putting scoops on top of warm Knaus Berry Farm cinnamon rolls. Maybe an uncle even slips some cafecito into their grandkid’s bowls while no one’s looking. You can find professional versions of all these creations at Azucar. They’ve got an Abuela Maria flavor that mixes guava, cream cheese, and Maria cookies into vanilla ice cream. But the ice cream shop doesn’t just stick to the nostalgic stuff. There’s also a plátano maduro flavor, banana and red hots, sweet potato and ancho chile." - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
