Vegan desserts in Des Moines

Tonight we felt like something special after a quick meal (I was craving fast food like crazy, so a quick dinner was of the essence). So we drove the few blocks to Gelaterie Stam and got a few creamy, dense servings of their non-dairy fruit sorbets. If you're in the mood for a sweet treat, their fruit gelato is really fabulous. They also had a chocolate soy flavor, but I couldn't resist the large pink mounds of triple berry. (My boy had the right idea, though, when he went for the lemon. It was bright, fresh and not too sweet.)

Our other dessert indulgence (beyond the box of Soy Delicious ice cream sandwiches that we've been steadily working our way through) is the black sticky rice at The King and I. It's a purply-black rice pudding made with coconut milk that's absolutely sinful.
