      Sasapops

      These all-natural fruit pops will wow you with sweet flavor, probably because they’re carefully hand-crafted in Las Vegas in small batches without weird chemical additives. We love pink guava, mango and the decadent blueberry cheesecake dessert pop. Las Vegas Premium Outlets, 874 Grand Central Parkway, 900-7873.

      Blue daiquiri sorbet at I Love Yogurt

      This locally operated fro-yo shop tends to have more interesting and better-tasting flavors than the big-chain stuff, not to mention an enchanting ’80s theme and this neon-colored, island vibe-inducing flavor. 11700 W. Charleston Blvd., 243-5683.

      Caramel coconut macadamia nut at Lappert’s Ice Cream

      Sometimes you just want old-fashioned ice cream. Lappert’s is a small premium brand that skews toward Hawaiian flavors. Sweet, crunchy and luxurious, it’s tough to beat a spoonful, or many, of this Downtown treat. California Hotel, 12 Ogden Ave, 385-1222.
