A New Zealand-style ice cream shop is now open in Old Town Burleson Square. Mr. Henry’s Real Fruit Ice Cream is the first of its kind in DFW and only the second in Texas.
New Zealand-style ice cream is a blend of vanilla soft serve with fresh fruit — using a special machine imported from the South Pacific island nation — topped with cookie crumbs, sprinkles, or drizzles.
Think: Blended pineapple ice cream topped with toasted coconut, graham crackers, and sweetened condensed milk.
Owner Henry Lazcano grew up in El Paso working alongside his father at distribution company Henry’s Produce before relocating to DFW to pursue an IT career.
But after discovering the delicious creation, Lazcano teamed up with his daughter Alex to renovate a small house south of Fort Worth and bring the frozen treat to the area. Stop by the Wilson Street shop from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
