(SPOT.ph) Raise your hands if you grew up treating your sweet tooth to avocados and condensed milk over ice. Yup, whereas guacamole or avocado toast seems to be the default way of using up the "butter fruit" in the West, for us in the Philippines it's all about the sweet side of things—and avocados are especially fantastic as ice cream. If you find yourself nodding at the prospect, we say hit up Sebastian's Ice Cream stat as they've got a whole slew of limited-edition desserts in time for avocado season!

Take your pick from these variations of avocado ice cream from Sebastian's:
The homegrown ice cream shop has quite the treat for fans of avocado desserts—we're talking seven (!) variations of avocado ice cream, and two spinoff treats to boot. For the ice creams, choose your fighter (P145/scoop): the Avocado Pastillas de Leche is made for fans of the classic avocado-plus-milk tandem, being garnished with mini pastillas they make in-house; similarly dairy-loaded but with added texture are the Avocado Tres Leches with cubes of soaked pound cake, Avocado Banana Pudding with pound cake and lakatan bananas, and the Avocado Cream Pie swirled with sweet cream ice cream and shards of graham crust.
You can, of course, also explore the magic of contrasts with the Roasted Almond Avocado—a deceptively simple (but divine) number with chunks of almonds that make for a satisfying crunch. How's about sweet and savory? Try the Avocado Peanut Butter garnished with peanut butter truffles (huge gobs of it, too). And in case you didn't know, avocado and chocolate are a match made in bittersweet heaven; try the Avocado Dark Chocolate Chip and you'll see just what we mean.
Why stop at spooning and licking? Don't miss the other avo specials they've got, eithe. Layers of triple milk-soaked pound cake, avocado ice cream, roasted almonds, and a white-chocolate drizzle (plus a pastillas de leche "collar") make for a dreamy Avocado Tres Leches ice cream cake (P155/slice, P1,650/whole). And for a sweet treat on a stick, go forthe Avocado Peanut Butter Dive Bar (P135) dipped in peanut butter for the perfect marriage of salty and sweet.
The ice creams by the scoop, ice-cream cake slices, and dive bar are available at Sebastian's physical outpost at The Podium. You can also order selected ice-cream pints, the ice-cream cake (whole or slices), and dive bar through their website.
