Williams Plum St. Snowballs

 




New Orleans, LA


William's Plum St. Snowballs is located at the corner of Burdette and Plum St off South Carrollton Ave.. It's in the middle of a residential neighborhood.. very unsuspecting! It's not your fancy dessert stop or "come in and sit down joint".. It's literally just a snowball stand. Their niche? Besides the wonderful flavors and innovative packaging idea (a chinese togo food container for the large ones), they grind the ice extra fine (it's a beautiful thing) and from what I hear, they make their own condensed milk (which is delicious!). 



Where the line usually starts..



Praline and Cream Snowball w/ Condensed Milk



Strawberry Shortcake Snowball w/ Condensed Milk

We arrived pretty early, they open at 12 noon, so we were able to avoid the crowd. On a hot New Orleans day, you'll find a line of people out the door. No problem though, they have the service broken down to an art and will have you in and out very quickly. The 2 flavors we ordered was the Praline & Cream and the Strawberry Shortcake, each with Condensed Milk. It's a WONDERFUL treat.. great flavor, perfect ice (like snow!), and that awesome condensed milk on top. Hit them up before summer's out! (good thing summer in the South lasts forever!)




Overall Rating:   1/2 (out of 7 )

probably the best snowballs in town.. =)

that looks so good. i miss eating snowballs. my favorite flavor back then was butterscotch and rootbeer combined. or just cantaloupe. i wish they had something up here like it. but nothing compares to a snowball from new orleans.

looks really good... we have snowballs as well in our country, but I don't think they ever made it like that. Maybe if I go visit the US next year, I'd stop by that place. thanks.

That reminds of the Filipino dessert, Halo-halo. We do the exact same thing.
