Well I guess to put this in prospective, instead of referring to Bon's Ice Cream as

best ice-cream in the DR!

More accurately it should read: "Some of their ice cream is the best that I have tasted in the DR!" I would really be interested to see if you will stand by this after tasting Mariposa. |

Very good Italian style gelato, less creamy and denser.

Getting away from the Bon-Mariposa war, hasn't anybody tried that ice cream that is sold in the fruits, themselves?
I can't remember the brand name, but Dr. Gideon was one of the distributors, and I remember the chinola coming in a passion fruit shell, as well as the coconut.
Anyway, I haven't seen it for years, but it was sold in Cabarete.
Is it no longer available?

Is there anyone on the North Coast that sells "no sugar added" ice cream?

What would they sweeten it with?
If it's chemical, I'll go for the sugar, myself.

It's usual sweetened with Splenda (or something similar); which is much better than the Sugar alcohols (sorbitol, mannitol, etc) which they us in sugar free chocolate.

Unfortunately, some of us have no choice.

I loved that stuff. Never forget the first time we visited the DR and simply sat outside the Supermercado Playero eating one and buying another and eating that one too. Its a pity if these are no longer available. Never knew Gideon was one of the distributors but I'll ask him for the recipes for sure...
The best icecream is what we make at home - fresh fruit, honey and natural yoghurt - an icecream maker and walla!

The Power of Suggestion...
Despite having no plans to do so, somehow, after walking the dog, then going to a baseball game, I landed up at Helados Bon in Charamicos, eating chocolate ice cream.
Now, will you please stop talking about food, or I'm going to get so fat, I'll have to buy new clothing.
