Suntan in a Bowl

My exact sentiment when I tasted Longford's Coconut Gelato at bartaco.  It transports me to my Hawaiian Tropic days.  If you are in the area it's a must try.  But it's only available at bartaco, not at any of the Longford's locations.  (Psst, you can buy it from the factory in bulk.  Call 914.935.9469.)

For those not in the area (sorry, I keep doing this), I'm sure they will ship!  Otherwise, here are some really tasty alternatives, both available at Whole Foods.  Luna and Larry's Organic Coconut Bliss Naked Coconut flavor is a non-dairy, gluten and soy free alternative made with, you guessed it, coconut milk.  Its rich coconut flavor reminds me of Longfords but it's overall a bit lighter given the lack of cream.

Talenti Gelato in Caribbean Coconut is creamy and luxurious (I mean, check out the packaging, beautiful).  Its coconut flavor is a bit more subtle but it's rich and creamy the way a good gelato should be.
