Jacques Genin ice cream
A short menu is often a guarantee of seriousness, even at an ice cream parlor. At Pierre Marcolini, this is certainly the case. In its fifth and largest Parisian boutique, located in the Marais since April 2023, the newcomer to the neighborhood offers four fresh ice creams and sorbets, before our eyes.
At the end of August, we tested the four flavors (two ice creams, two sorbets) offered that day: Bourbon vanilla from Madagascar, Sao Tomé & Principe grand cru chocolate, strawberry and, last but not least, walnut. coconut. So many frozen creations that belong to the “Frisson collection”, which changes and evolves according to the desires and inspirations of the Belgian chocolatier. Distinctive feature: all the ice creams, served in a pot (no cone) are topped with a thin disc of dark chocolate.
This chocolate heavyweight – the brand has 46 stores around the world – lives up to its reputation. The texture and smoothness are perfect, the aromas with simple and frank flavors develop nicely in the mouth. All with a good balance between sugar and fat, neither too much nor too little. WE love.
The 150 ml pot: €6,50

On the program, ice creams and sorbets, without sugar, without syrup, without honey or synthetic sweeteners.
