Green Chili Sundae
Given that a state bearing the name “Mexico” would have an affinity for spicy cuisine, it’s hardly surprising. However, green chili sundaes might face resistance beyond New Mexico’s borders. Originating at Caliche’s Frozen Custard in Las Cruces, this beloved summertime delight began as an experimental addition to the menu at a local hot dog joint. To the delight of many, the combination of sweet and spicy quickly became an obsession.
The sundae features vanilla custard adorned with green chilis and salted pecans, creating a truly distinctive flavor profile.
