Summer in Barcelona is witnessing a very particular invasion: monsters! But don’t worry, they’re not creepy creatures, but delicious ice creams in the shape of little monsters that are taking social media by storm, particularly on TikTok.
Imagine an ice cream with googly eyes, a delight that fuses fear with the pleasure of a refreshing lick. These are the monster ice creams that are causing a sensation in Barcelona.
The ice cream parlor behind this trend is Snow Monster Barcelona, which has brought from Taiwan these amazing desserts that defy the traditional appearance of ice cream.
What makes these ice creams so attractive is their diversity of flavors and textures. From strawberry to chocolate, Snow Monster offers a wide range of options to satisfy all tastes.
But here comes the interesting part: these ice creams also incorporate exquisite bubbles and creams. Every bite is a surprise of flavor and texture.
Exploring the trend of ice cream with little monsters: from Taiwan to Barcelona
The most distinctive feature of these ice cream monsters is undoubtedly their eyes. Each ice cream has googly eyes that look at you while you enjoy this creation. This playful touch adds an element of fun and uniqueness that appeals to young and old alike.
If you are in Barcelona and want to try these ice creams, you can go to Snow Monster Barcelona, located in Canuda street, 13, near Plaza de Catalunya.
Despite their extravagant and delicious appearance, these ice creams have a very affordable price, only 6 euros. So, if you’re looking for a refreshing alternative to traditional ice cream, this fresh-from-Taiwan option is sure to please.
The creation process
The creation of these ice creams is as unique as their appearance. Instead of using the typical ice cream scoop method, at Snow Monster Barcelona the ice cream is cut into horizontal fragments, creating a kind of mass with volume that is placed in a glass or tub.
It is then topped with fresh fruit, cream and tapioca balls, a trend that also comes from Taiwan and is known to bubble tea lovers. This creation process adds an intriguing visual dimension to the ice cream and is part of its appeal.
The success of Snow Monster Barcelona has been driven in large part by social media, particularly TikTok.
Monster ice cream prices vary according to size, with options ranging from €6 to €9. The flavor menu offers you a dozen options to choose from, including some alcoholic ice creams, such as piña colada. However, the star is watermelon ice cream, the quintessential summer fruit that delights those who try it.
