When it comes to Taiwan’s proud frozen treats, shaved ice topped with red beans, kidney beans, and taro is probably many people’s top choice. But it seems that the shaved ice’s reign as the favorite is being challenged in Zhongli, Taoyuan. A local shop specializing in grains and cereals, “Zheng Fengsheng Trading Co.,” has developed its own Taiwanese-style ice cream flavors that have become extremely popular. Topped with rich peanut and sesame sauce and sprinkled with sesame, peanuts, and chocolate powder, it’s so tempting your mouth waters before the ice cream even melts.

▲ Besides peanut and sesame, there are also occasionally grain and matcha flavors. (Photo provided by netizen kenziie_h. No unauthorized reproduction to avoid copyright infringement.)

Zheng Fengsheng Peanut Home, which specializes in grains and cereals, started out with potato products. The shop’s peanut sauce, peanut candy, and sesame products are all locally famous. To introduce Taiwan-grown peanuts and sesame to younger generations, they’ve developed a variety of ice cream flavors using different beans and grains. Among them, the most popular are the signature peanut and sesame flavors. The rich aroma of peanuts and sesame meets the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth ice cream, then it’s drizzled with specially selected peanut and sesame sauce, and finally topped with peanut and sesame powder—all maximizing the fragrance and guaranteed to drive peanut and sesame lovers wild.
