Tootsies

Santa Ana, Calif.

Staring up at the tall counter at Tootsie may make you feel like a kid again, but the ice cream is all adult.

The best-selling Saffron Pistachio ice cream, sandwiched between two crispy wafers, puts a bold Persian spin on an American favorite that makes you turn your back on plain old chocolate. For something more familiar, try the blueberry ice cream nestled between a pair of blueberry pop tarts. Tootsie is at 307 W. Third St.
