Guilt-free Frozen Desserts in Singapore
2013-05-28
It's 4pm in the afternoon and you are dreaming of a double scoop frozen treat. (Yes, double scoop.) The voice in your head coaxes you to head down to the nearest ice cream joint, but you struggle internally with the other voice that insists you should get something healthier. Sounds familiar? We know the pain of internal dilemmas, that's why we compiled a special list of sinless frozen treats for you! (Think: Ice cream with a fat percentage of below 10%* and sinless gelatos.) Resistance is futile. *Regular ice cream has 14-20% fat.
