The creamery’s “favorite sundaes” include the Limcello, a lemon ice cream based sundae with lemon bread, limoncello cake bites, and white chocolate chips, and the Peanut Lover, a rich sundae with layers of chocolate ice cream, peanuts, peanut butter, espresso powder, and chocolate sauce. In addition to ice cream, the shop serves up shaved ice, Nutella-covered strawberries, and homemade cannolis.

Still serving up delicious classic Mexican desserts and antojitos (little snack foods), the family created recipes with a tropical twist and Instagram-worthy presentation. Most impressive are their drinks, which include various fruit drinks, smoothies, frappes, milk shakes, and clamatos, or tomato cocktails; in short, there’s something for everyone. Their over-the-top drinks include the Fruity Gummy (Squirt soda piled high with chamoy, fresh fruit, various gummy candies), the Francesca (freshly chopped watermelon and other fresh fruit topped with ice cream and popping boba), and the Piña Colada, which is served fresh in a pineapple and complete with a drink umbrella.

Jars by Fabio Viviani
3000 S Hulen St #150, Fort Worth, 682-708-1777 

In January, Fort Worth became home to one of celebrity chef and restaurateur Favio Viviani’s new dessert concepts: JARS. The fast-casual shop on South Hulen Street presents classic desserts we know and love (such as cheesecake, tiramisu, pie, and cake) in a unique way, layering the sweet elements in single-serve jars. The rotating menu keeps things interesting, but classics such as Fabio’s Tiramisu, Oreo Cookies & Cream cake, and Banana Cream Pie are here to stay. The shop even has some gluten free options, such as their Gluten Free Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake.
Tip: If baked goods aren’t your jam, the JARS menu features various soft serve sundaes, milkshakes, and refreshing fruit drinks. Reviews say the rich gourmet hot chocolate on their winter menu is fabulous as well.

What started out as a side-hustle pop-up for the founder became Dusty Biscuit Beignets, a local beignet shop that brings the French Quarter to Fort Worth. Located just off of South Main Street, the shop has put their own spin on the classic beignet, or “fried gold”, in both sweet and savory ways. On the sweet side is the Bourbon Street, drizzled in a bourbon maple glaze with chopped bacon, the Cowtown King Cake, with a sweet cream cheese and cinnamon sugar, and various glazed options such as browned butter, chocolate, and lemon.
