L.A. is leaving frozen yogurt behind in favor of its full-fat cousin: ice cream. The obsession deepens with the arrival of three sweet treats. At the new Sprinkles Ice Cream (sprinklesicecream.com) in Beverly Hills, slow-churned flavors like Salty Caramel and Cherry Vanilla come in red-velvet cones and sandwiched between Sprinkles cupcake tops. Fonuts (fonuts.com), the unfried doughnut emporium on West Third Street, uses its namesake pastry in innovative sandwich combos such as Blueberry Earl Grey and Strawberry Buttermilk. And Culina (culinarestaurant.com) at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills offers creations like the Knickerbocker Glory, a retro British yummy topped with Jell-O and fresh berries. For those with a serious sweet tooth (or a lightning-fast metabolism), there’s a sundae called the Kitchen Sink (right).
