So back home in Vermont, creemee’s are the thing. It’s soft serve ice cream for those who don’t know. In Texas, it gets WAY too hot to even think about putting some ice cream on a cone and expecting to eat the entire thing before it melts. Thus – Texas has snowcones.
Snowcones come in every size, every flavor and even has “extras”. You can get ice cream at the bottom of the snow cone, sprinkles, whip cream or even, my personal favorite, cream. There is one huge issue – it’s all about the “snow”. Yes, how the ice is shaved is extremely important! It can’t be too hard or icy, the flavoring needs to seep into the shaved ice enough so the ice seems flavored, not coated but not too much so it turns into a syrupy drink.As much as the heat sometimes gets me (and I’m not going to complain because this summer isn’t nearly a bad as last summer), I’ve given myself a new mission for the summer. Let’s find the best snowcone in North Texas!
Last night’s stop: Bedford Snoball
Due to the line of cars at the drive thru and the line of people at the window, I thought this might be a good stop.
Finding a flavor that tickles your fancy shouldn’t be an issue here – there’s a ton! The prices aren’t bad either!
Here she be – Strawberry Shortcake (medium).
Ingredients: “Strawberry Jubilee” flavoring (which is actually made with real strawberries), cream and whip cream on top.
To me, it tasted more like a strawberry daiquiri than strawberry shortcake but I’m not going to complain. It was still pretty darn good. Real strawberries! Love it! The whip cream was a little questionable to me but mixed in with the snowcone, it was creamy and delicious!
Bedford Snoball gets a Pass! I’m pretty sure I’ll be back (probably to try the Raspberry Creamcicle)!
Check them out! Let me know your flavor of choice and what you thought!
If you know of a great snowcone stand in the DFW area – please let me know! I’ll try to check it out!
