Southern Flavors to Savor:
Ice cream makers give us the varieties that represent their cities ...from Miami: Abuela Maria | Suzy Batlle of Azucar Ice Cream Company trademarked this flavor, a combination of Cuban Maria crackers, guava, and cream cheese. “Cubans love guava and cream cheese on a cracker, and I put it all inside an ice cream,” she says proudly. The Local Palate Magazine | August 2012 |

Maduros and more: Ice cream gets Latin flavor
Oh, vanilla and chocolate ice cream—you are so about to be replaced. A new and decidedly more fun approach to the cold and creamy summertime favorite is taking hold, with classic (and sometimes admittedly crazy) Latino ingredients taking center stage. Case in point: Miami’s hottest ice cream parlor, the 10-month-old Azúcar, where owner Suzy Batlle, uses her late Cuban grandmother’s ice cream recipe as the foundation for more than 50 unique flavors.

Get the Scoop: Where to Try Miami's Best Ice Cream
Best Local Flavor | Every once in a while, an eatery opens up that makes us think, “They get us. They really get us!” This Calle Ocho gem serves up some serious Miami flare with catchy names like Willy Cherrino (double cherry) and El Mani Loco (crazy peanut). They’ve also mastered the art of producing authentic Cuban flavors like Abuela Maria (Abuela Maria cookies with cream cheese and guava paste) and café con leche (Cuban coffee & Oreos).
