Sugar Rush: Vegan Ice Cream at Stogo
The weather is warming up and frozen sweets are on my mind. What do you do when you've eaten your way though every single gelato bar and ice cream shop in the city? You turn to the vegan counterparts.
Just because you're not vegan doesn't mean you can't appreciate vegan desserts. Case in point: ice creams at Lula's Sweet Apothecary. One lazy evening at Stogo, the newest vegan ice cream shop in town, I dug into a generously portioned bowl of fudge brownie and salted caramel pecan. The fudge brownie was forgettable but the salted caramel was the real winner, featuring a pecan speckled vanilla base heavily streaked with caramel, creamy and liberally salted. Gelato will remain my first love, but there's always room for a dairy-free fling.
