Caliche’s Frozen Custard In New Mexico Is Home To An Ice Cream Sundae You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

There’s no doubt green chile is king in New Mexico. Stop by any restaurant in the Land of Enchantment and you’re bound to find some hint of the piquant pepper on the menu.

While it’s a popular option in savory dishes, you may also encounter chile in an unusual section: desserts. These particular menu options are few and far between but they can be found occasionally in restaurants and dessert shops. One such location is over at Caliche’s Frozen Custard, located in southern New Mexico.

For nearly 25 years, Caliche's has been serving frosty sweet treats in a retro atmosphere to Las Cruces and its surrounding communities.

Just look at that cute neon-lit building with checkerboard patterns and a spacious patio.
Frozen custard is the main menu item here, denser and richer than traditional ice cream. And the most unique menu options include green chile.

A green chile marmalade is one of the options for sundaes, concretes (the shop's version of a blended, frozen custard), and shakes at Caliche's.

It's a surprisingly sweet treat; not nearly as biting and pungent as you would expect but with a zingy, sweet flavor. You can find this topping as an option for the sundaes...
...or their concretes. Add it alone to a vanilla concrete or opt for an upgrade with salted pecans and other toppings.

You can even order it blended into a milkshake.
Made on site, this is one frozen dessert you won't soon forget!
