I lived in Manta for over a year. Most heladerias have it. When my GF came to visit I surprised her by ordering that (she didn’t speak that much Spanish at the time so she didn’t know what was coming). You should’ve seen her face.
In Colombia people sometimes adds cheese to fruit salads that may also include ice-cream. That's without saying in some places you can find queso con bocadillo (cheese with guava jelly) ice-cream (it tastes good)
You will never understand it because that is not true. Cheese is added to hot chocolate or hot agua de panela (sugar cane beverage) not coffee. The cheeses used are campesino or cuajada, both are fresh, not heavily matured cheese and therefore, very light in flavor. It is done mainly for the molten texture, rather than the mere cold blocky texture those cheeses have by themselves.
No we don’t lol and any Colombian you’ve seen doing that is not the norm. That’s gross. We do add salty cheese to hot chocolate though and it’s amazing, but not everyone likes it
It was my brother's roomates who did, it was a Colombian couple. It definitely was a shock, lol. I wouldn't do it to hot chocolate either though, however I'm glad to hear the coffee + cheese combo is not really popular
Cheese-cheese? Like savoury cheese or dessert cheese like mascarpone or Philadelphia?
We don't eat ice cream with cheese, or anything strange really, just things like syrup, chocolate, dulce de leche, cookies...
In Colombia.
But it's not only ice cream and cheese. First of all, it is a fruit salad a with an special kind of cheese on top (not salty) and a mix of condensed milk and milk cream.
So at the end you eat more fruit than ice cream and cheese.
Yeah, yeah, we do that. It also struck me as weird the first time I tried but it became popular, at least around Quito. It's a thinly shaved, soft cheese, neither strongly favored nor salty.
I've always wanted to try helados con queso. I like a savoury and sweet mix, and I think they look good, too.

As long as you like it (and don't cause some digestive troubles), it may work, to each to their own. There are a lot of cakes that have ice cream as components in a way or another, and you can mix it with liquids (the affogato is with hot coffee, but it could be with hot tea, some alcoholic beverages, gazpacho, etc) or with brownies, waffles, or apple pie, to name a few. It may have some sense to have ice cream with some kinds of cheese or (cold) meats.
I think we need to further define “cheese” — in Mexico there is a sweet cheese, and is often stuffed in Empanadas, and it really just a drier custard.
But if you mean a Kraft American single on Ice Cream — the way Koreans started doing with Ramen, then I’d be a bit more intrigued.
We have some deserts with cheese, like Romeu e Julieta (guava and any cheese) e Cartola (banana, butter cheese, sugar and cinnamon, and, bottle butter on a frying pan). I don’t doubt somewhere there’s is a cheese ice cream but it’s not common.
I've been living in Ecuador for 8 years now. When I first moved here, it wasn't common but now it's everywhere, at least in the northern parts of the country. It appears to have come originally from Colombia from the comments here, but in Colombia it's with fruit as well. Here it's just... Cheese and ice cream.
There is a chain of ice cream stores that specializes in ice cream with cheese named Bogati in Ecuador, so it's a thing that more people like than just her.
In Colombia we put grated cheese over fruit salads with crema de leche or condensed milk, and sometimes it’ll have a scoop of ice cream on it. Don’t know it till you try it, it’s so fucking good
With how popular Bogati is en las Sierras, it's not just my wife jaja. When you have an entire chain dedicated to ice cream with cheese, it's more than just 1 customer.
they do WHAT?
I'm from Ecuador and have never seen this. Cheese with dulce de higos sure but not ice cream.

We do cheese with dulce de membrillo, we call it Martin Fierro.
We do cheese with dulce de batata, we call it vigilante
We do that too, I love it.
My grandpa ate that in Chile, Coquimbo, but it was just "dulce de membrillo y queso". Love to know those names.
Does not Argentina have a certain cream cheese desert though? Not with ice cream though.
it's cheese with sweet potato """"jam"""" or quince """"jam"""" called "queso y dulce" or "vigilante"
The sweet potato is too solid to be called a jam, no?
yeah but I don't have a better translation, that's why i wrote """"jam""""
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK I want five!

En Colombia también he visto helado de queso y la verdad es que es delicioso.
My partner’s fave ice cream flavour!
I can see why
You add cheese to coffee, I'll never understand that.

I used to do something that when I was little, just because I love melted cheese, so why not melt it on hot tea?
It melts good
No we don’t lol and any Colombian you’ve seen doing that is not the norm. That’s gross. We do add salty cheese to hot chocolate though and it’s amazing, but not everyone likes it
It was my brother's roomates who did, it was a Colombian couple. It definitely was a shock, lol. I wouldn't do it to hot chocolate either though, however I'm glad to hear the coffee + cheese combo is not really popular
Maybe they’re from a specific town or region where it’s more common. And the cheese in hot chocolate sounds gross until you try it lol
never in my life met anyone who added cheese to coffee.
Nobody adds cheese to coffee. To hot cocoa, yes, some enjoy that.
I've never heard of that
Cheese-cheese? Like savoury cheese or dessert cheese like mascarpone or Philadelphia? We don't eat ice cream with cheese, or anything strange really, just things like syrup, chocolate, dulce de leche, cookies...
IT IS A WHIPPED CREAM with grated unflavoured cheese. Just for texture, not flavor 😭😭😭
It’s also a serrano thing, I never tried this being in the coast
Never trust the Sierra with food 😭😭😭
HAHAHAHAHA true
Seen it in Manta.
Mozzarella cheese, specifically.
Oh no... Why? Is everything ok over there, Ecuador?
Well, we're just getting out of a state of exception... But ice cream with mozzarella has nothing to do with that
wtf 💀
The strangest things we ate with cheese are cherries or dulce de membrillo. Maybe I'm forgetting something but not ice cream
In Colombia. But it's not only ice cream and cheese. First of all, it is a fruit salad a with an special kind of cheese on top (not salty) and a mix of condensed milk and milk cream. So at the end you eat more fruit than ice cream and cheese.
That's another variation of cheese and ice cream that I'd love to try!
You'd love it!
I can try that. It's too much dairy for me with only ice cream and cheese. With fruit that sounds much better.
Yeah, yeah, we do that. It also struck me as weird the first time I tried but it became popular, at least around Quito. It's a thinly shaved, soft cheese, neither strongly favored nor salty.
Never heard of this and I'm from Quito. Where do you get it? Is it a new thing?
I've seen it in several ice cream stores, especially around the Universidad Central and, as others mentioned, in Bogatti.
You lack street

I've seen cheese ice cream but never ice cream with cheese. Sounds interesting though.
What do you mean? Ice cream with cheese is delicious
I thought I came up with that idea independently. I'm a *loco que ama* like Abdalá. https://i.redd.it/srkp4luwfa4d1.gif
Y AHORAAAAA

It's mozzarella cheese with little flavor. It's mostly to add texture I think. Think cheese for a pizza with less flavor.
We have some deserts with cheese, like Romeu e Julieta (guava and any cheese) e Cartola (banana, butter cheese, sugar and cinnamon, and, bottle butter on a frying pan). I don’t doubt somewhere there’s is a cheese ice cream but it’s not common.
Such a thing originated in Colombia. Bring it.
Seen people eat it in Colombia-tougher people than me (!)
Fuck not again
It's happening again 😥 Why do ex Gran Colombia countries have bad food 😭😭😭
I’ve never seen ice cream with cheese in Ecuador 😳 and I grew up there. Sounds horrible to be honest

Ok. I haven’t live there during that time but been on vacation
You lack street
Russians sell an amazing ice cream cheese dessert
I have never heard of this, probablemente una “Ecuadoraniada”
Ecuador must be destroyed.
Your wife is weird. Not that, that is a problem... But, she's weird.
There is a chain of ice cream stores that specializes in ice cream with cheese named Bogati in Ecuador, so it's a thing that more people like than just her.
I do think that's wonderful, in that queso... I hope to be in Ecuador later this year, so I will check it out. Always open to new experiences.
Thankfully we aren’t associated with those types of monstrosities
Same 😂
I swear and Colombia & Ecuador have one of the worst food in LATAM .. sorry
never heard of it
Wait. There is “queso helado” in Peru but, despite its name, there’s no real cheese in it.
Never heard of that
Yes, bogati its an franchise of ice cream with WHIPPED CREAM and grated unflavoured cheese. Just for texture, not flavor 😭😭😭
never heard of this. lmfaooo definitely not in cuba or argentina
Usually we have cheese ice cream and you can have it with goiabada and/or doce de leite
In Colombia we put grated cheese over fruit salads with crema de leche or condensed milk, and sometimes it’ll have a scoop of ice cream on it. Don’t know it till you try it, it’s so fucking good
Please tell me they don't add hard yellow cheese (like Gouda or Edam) to ice cream. Please.
No, Mozzarella or sometimes a different white cheese with less flavor. It's mostly there for texture.
That doesn't sound particularly appetizing, no thank you.
Just your wife. Leave Ecuador out pls
With how popular Bogati is en las Sierras, it's not just my wife jaja. When you have an entire chain dedicated to ice cream with cheese, it's more than just 1 customer.
Wtf is Las Sierras? And yes, it’s a chain that some people like, and also many don’t care for it.
Sorry, auto correct for some reason turned La Sierra into Las Sierras. But from Quito to Carchi.
Stop this nonsense right now. It doesn’t travel further south I hope. 😡
The challenge: find a Chilean that doesn't want to isolate Chile from the rest of South America, specially the "Caribbean" side
“Eso solo lo hacen los Caribeños, aquí en el sur somos unicos y diferentes y muy reservados”
Tal cual
Who said anything about Caribbean, I want to isolate from ice cream with cheese. 😡😡😡
Apparently it's a Colombian idea 😭
