Jacques Genin ice cream
A short menu is often a guarantee of seriousness, even at an ice cream parlor. At Pierre Marcolini, this is certainly the case. In its fifth and largest Parisian boutique, located in le Marais since April 2023, the new arrival in the neighborhood has been offering four fresh ice creams and sorbets, right before our eyes.
At the end of August, we tested the four flavors (two ice creams, two sorbets) offered that day: Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, Sao Tomé & Principe grand cru chocolate, strawberry and, last but not least, walnut. coconut. So many frozen creations that belong to the “Frisson collection”, which changes and evolves according to the desires and inspirations of the Belgian chocolatier. Distinctive feature: all the ice creams, served in a pot (no cone) are topped with a thin disc of dark chocolate.
This chocolate heavyweight – the brand has 46 stores around the world – lives up to its reputation. The texture and smoothness are perfect, the aromas with simple and frank flavors develop nicely in the mouth. All with a good balance between sugar and fat, neither too much nor too little. WE love.
The 150 ml pot: €6,50

Sugar-free ice cream, Maison Plume
Eating sugar-free ice cream, did you think it was impossible? Well, think again. Already recognized for its zero-sugar pastries, Plume is taking on this summer challenge. On the program, ice creams and sorbets, without sugar, without syrup, without honey or synthetic sweeteners. It is the famous stevia expertly sourced by the house (without bitter taste) which adds the note of indulgence.
Every day, three flavors are offered. That day, it was matcha, vanilla, peanut and blackberry sorbet. These ice creams without added air or water have a dense, creamy texture and concentrated flavors. It's rounded, regressive, but without guilt or impact on blood sugar levels. Enough to take an ice break between two meetings, without risking a blood sugar peak.
