In Hong Kong, China, it is very hot in summer. Apart from going in and out of shops to make yourself cool, there’s also another, much tastier, way to bring the temperature down—ice cream. So, if you’re ready to cool down in the most delicious way possible, check out some of these icy treats that will help you stay cool all summer long.

A special ice cream by Messina & Little Bao

Australian ice cream brand Messina is partnering up with Little Bao to launch two limited-edition flavours(限量版口味) this summer. Available for three weeks only starting June 30, this special ice cream is very delicious and can make you cool after eating it. Both flavours can be enjoyed at Messina ($60 for one scoop; $75 for two scoops; $90 for three scoops) as well as Little Bao.

Kowloon Dairy Cookies’n Cream Mochi Ice

This summer, Kowloon Dairy is adding a delicious choice to their Mochi Ice series—it’s Cookies’n Cream! Filled with rich creamy ice cream and delicious little chocolate cookie bits, this is the perfect icy dessert to beat the heat. The Cookies’n Cream Mochi Ice will be available at 7-Eleven and Circle-K convenience stores from July 6 and 7 onwards respectively.

Venchi’s vegan-friendly(素食) ice creams

This summer, Venchi is launching two new vegan-friendly ice creams—the Piedmont hazelnut sorbet and the Bronte pistachio sorbet. The latter comes in sweet and salty flavours. Freshly made every day, both ice creams are available in Venchi stores across the city.

Ikea durian(榴莲) ice cream

This list would not be complete without the king of fruits. That’s right, durians! From now until July 12, fans of this fruit can enjoy a rich D197 durian ice cream ($29) at selected Ikea bistros(宜家小店) in Causeway Bay, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan, and Kowloon Bay. You can even add on an additional $13 for an extra portion of durian meat.
