If you travel to Cuba, McNish says you’ll have plenty of tropical, mouthwatering ice cream flavours to pick from—and at bargain prices, to boot. You can stop by any ice cream parlour (or as it’s called in Cuba, ‘heladeria’) and walk away with a huge cone for under a dollar. A traditional Cuban flavour is ‘mantecado,’ which McNish explains has a custard base with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Or if you’re more into fruit, coco glace is a coconut ice cream served inside of a coconut shell.
