    Overview

    Da Lat's creamy signature avocado ice cream

    Da Lat's avocado ice cream is made from locally grown avocados blended with condensed milk, sugar, and cream, then churned or simply soft-served in cups or cones. The result is a rich, naturally buttery ice cream with a mild sweetness that perfectly reflects Da Lat's highland produce culture.

    The story

    Origin & history

    Avocados were introduced to Da Lat during the French colonial period and became a staple highland crop in Lam Dong Province. Local vendors began making kem bo (avocado ice cream) decades ago, and it became one of Da Lat's most recognizable and beloved food souvenirs for visitors.

    How to order & pay

    Ordering

    Order in a cup for easier eating while walking. Ask for 'kem bo dac biet' for a premium version with more avocado. Try it without extra toppings first to appreciate the natural flavor.

    Paying

    Most stalls are cash-only and prices are low. Bring small notes of 10,000-50,000 VND.

    Allergens

    May contain dairy; some versions use coconut milk for a lighter alternative; generally free of common allergens beyond milk

    Nutrition & benefits

    Provides healthy fats from avocado and calcium from milk; richer than sorbet but more nutritionally dense than regular ice cream due to avocado content
