Stickhouse Gelato opens its doors at Wafi …

When the Wafi newsletter dropped into my in-box last week I learnt about a new gelato that had opened its doors in one of my favourite Malls.  I am not a massive fan of ice cream but loved the idea of a gelato on a stick, and the photographs were extremely tempting, so we headed down to Wafi to check Stickhouse out.  For once I wasn’t dragging the child kicking and screaming …

The outlet is pretty big and very bright and clean with lovely white tables and chairs giving
an altogether cool feel to the place.   There are a few big fridges displaying an array of gelatos on sticks! yes on sticks.  They have fruit sorbet, creamy gelato, cupido, cheesecake and yogurt on sticks with prices starting at just 10 AED.  The concept is unique to the UAE, basically you choose your gelato, then you can have it dipped into white, milk or dark chocolate. After choosing your chocolate dip you then have a choice of topping from almonds, hazelnuts, pistachios or shredded coconut.   The chocolate dip costs 2 dhs and the toppings 3 dhs each.  All the gelatos are 100% natural and additive free and relatively healthy if you don’t go getting them dipped in chocolate

How was the ice-cream?  fabulous! absolutely gorgeous, I had a coffee gelato dipped in dark chocolate with hazelnuts, my husband had the hazelnut gelato dipped in dark chocolate with hazelnuts (sheep) and Mitten opted for a double mango and raspberry sorbet. No complaints all round.
