Frozen desserts, especially ice cream, are the most popular option in the U.S. every year. There is something blissfully simple and wonderful about vanilla and chocolate ice cream. They are the flavors of childhood, and the basis for so many other desserts we love. At Domenico Coffee and Dessert Bar at 1332 W Memorial in Chisholm Creek, the ice cream experience is a more complex, wistful, and adventurous experience. The milkshakes comprise layers of cake, whipped cream, candy touches, caramel, and more colorful, sweet options than you can count.

Domenico Milkshake 4Top Layer

Domenico’s birthday cake with cream cheese frosting–always the correct choice, by the way–is the focus of this frozen treat, but it’s definitely a much different approach to cake and ice cream.

2nd Layer

Funfetti marshmallows with sprinkles and mini M&M’s. Candy in addition to cake can seem excessive, but this is for birthdays, the only time we’re really allowed to overindulge without guilt.

3rd Layer

The shake itself is vanilla ice cream with caramel drizzles. You’re free to choose your own preferred flavor, but there is something dependable and cohesive about vanilla in a complex melange of flavors; it holds everything together as a delicious base.
