• Pink Pony Soft Serve - 2536 Alvarado Dr NE, Albuquerque, NM 87110
  If you're looking for the best soft-serve ice cream in Albuquerque, drop what you're doing and head straight to Pink Pony Soft Serve. A cozy little shop just off Menual Blvd., Pink Pony makes its soft ice cream in-house using milk and cream sourced locally from New Mexico farms. It makes a difference. This is some of the smoothest, creamiest ice cream you're ever likely to taste, and it's served in over-sized waffle cones loaded with decadent toppings. 
  
  
• Icicles - 2300 Central Ave SE suite c-1, Albuquerque, NM 87106
  Lots of places offer ice cream, but Icicles does things a little differently. Inspired by a trip to Thailand during which they discovered a new technique for serving ice cream, the founders of Icicles started making handcrafted rolled ice cream. The ice cream is spread out on a cooling pan and shaped into rolls before your eyes, lending new texture and dimension to a classic frozen treat. With dozens of flavors and toppings (including dairy-free options), this is a must-try spot for trying ice cream in a new way. 
  
  
• The Paleta Bar - 2325 San Pedro Dr NE #1J, Albuquerque, NM 87110
  Mexican pops known as paletas are the stars of the show at The Paleta Bar, a popular local spot to cool off on a hot Albuquerque day. These just might become your new favorite summer treat. Available in flavors like pecan, strawberry, hazelnut, and Oreo, the paletas are dipped in chocolate and dusted in toppings ranging from chocolate sprinkles and peanuts to chili powder and coconut. Yum. 
  
  
• Katrina Ice Cream Shop - 521 Central Ave NW # I, Albuquerque, NM 87102
  You'll find a little bit of everything at Katrina Ice Cream Shop, a Central Ave. creamery that consistently creates some of the best-frozen desserts in Albuquerque. If you're looking for a scoop or three of a classic ice cream flavor, they can certainly help you out. But they also specialize in more creative fare, like churro shakes, aguas frescas, and boba smoothies. If it's sweet and frozen, you'll find it here.
