Wow Cow

Australia is a hot country; an essential part of the diet here therefore is ice-cream. We are very lucky to live near two amazing gelaterias - there is Teahna Banana, a 2 minute walk from our house, and there is the famous Gelato Messina, which reputedly sells Sydney's best ice-cream. It is admittedly pretty amazing - with flavours such as blood orange, dulce de leche, apple pie and gingerbread, it's often very hard to pick a flavour! My absolute favourite there though is the nougat flavour with it's delicious nutty taste and chewy bits of nougat dotted through.

There is however a new craze in Sydney: frozen yoghurt. There are a couple of places where we live dedicated to frozen yoghurt but they have all been disappointing - nothing seems to be able to beat that nougate ice-cream. This all changed last week: on one of our late night walks we discovered a shop called Wow Cow, and wow was it busy. It's a really cute little shop, with a cow hanging from the ceiling!

There are various flavours of yoghurt including original, coffee and wild berry, and then you choose toppings too - healthy options such as mango, mixed berries, and passionfruit; or naughty options such as oreos, m&ms, and tim-tams. Our choice: original flavour with mixed berries and cinammon sticks. It was amazing!

We went back three times this weekend...I've found my favourite combination: coffee flavoured yoghurt with a topping of almonds. I actually think I might prefer it to ice-cream, and I can pretend it's a bit healthier too!
