Fruits in Ice Cream!

Why does your ice cream melt so fast? There must be animal or vegetable fat in it. Not anyone knows that but it's true. Most ice cream use substitutes for milk fat. If you want to make sure you're eating ice cream that contains only milk fat, try FIC's Gourmet, Premium and Lite flavors. Who's FIC or what's FIC? I'm always asked that question when I talk about my favorite local ice cream stall in the mall. FIC stands for Fruits in Ice Cream.


FIC or Fruits in Ice Cream ensures quality in their ice cream. They're not the cheapest ice cream around but like everyone says, you get what you paid for. I learned about them when I was on a hunt for green tea-flavored ice cream. I wouldn't say I'm an adventurous eater but I love to try not-so-common flavors. FIC's green tea ice cream will not disappoint you and I'm very sure of that. Can you even imagine it? To taste is to believe.

The green tea flavor belongs to the Premium line. FIC doesn't just sell green tea flavor though. They serve almost every possible flavor you can think of. They have the Gourmet line which includes Black Sesame. This sounds like a weird jelly bean flavor but actually was very creamy.


The Pistachio also is quite surprising. It wasn't too sweet but it smells really good. It was like eating sweet perfume. Just heavenly.


Pure cream may not turn out so good so the texture plays an important role here. Also, their ice cream is not too sweet and it's not like your regular ice cream doped with tons of sugar. That's another good think about their ice cream.

For the health conscious or those who just cannot take table sugar, FIC offers Lite ice cream. The natural fructose from the fruits is what makes the ice cream sweet. It has lower fat than most ice cream so you can have too much without too much worries.

FIC also has the Pinoy Sorbetes line which imitates the local flavors that we love such as chocolate. This however is mellorine-based so that means vegetable fat is used alongside pure milk fat. If you're not too discriminating, go ahead and try it.


Uniqueness is the key that is why FIC's Cebu branch is offering their ala mode series soon. You may think it's very much like your favorite brownie cup but the ice cream is so much better than what they usually put on top of your brownie. Here's one called Molten Lava.


I had Raspberry ice cream from the Gourmet line on my cake. So why doesn't the ice cream look all pink? That's what makes it interesting. You can actually see the real bits and pieces of raspberry.

Soon to come are FIC's milkshakes. When I took a sip of my Green Tea milkshake, I felt the same feeling I had when I first had my milk shake. Oh it feels good to be a kid again.


Here's another one called Mocha milkshake which my fellow food blogger Jason tried. I had a sip of it. It was just irresistible.


I devoured too many ice cream today and I can do this all over again. :D (I can't help but put on a huge smile)

To all the ice cream lovers out there, this is a must-try. Visit their stall in Ayala Center Cebu on the 2nd floor, right outside Salon de Rose. FIC also has another branch in SM City Cebu. Guess I'll see you around!
