Located in an unassuming strip mall just off the freeway, Oasis has been in business since 1978. The ice cream is made with nothing but cream, natural fruit or flavorings and sugar. It's kind of soft, a little bit chewy, a little bit icy, and a little sweeter than some - or maybe it just seems that way without the richness of an egg yolk custard on the tongue. I chose peanut butter and coffee - the two flavors I liked best after trying quite a few. The available flavors include walnut, rice, banana, tamarind, coconut, cantaloupe, guava and watermelon in addition to several of the usual suspects. They have a wide variety of fruit flavors, particularly in the case dedicated to sorbet. Josh got the rice flavor, which tasted like rice pudding or horchata. The peanut butter was nice and salty, just the way I like it. Oasis is also a paleteria, with a huge assortment of bars in the freezer case. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a stop - you might even want to bring some dry ice (or pick some up at the nearby grocery store) to take some of the bars home. I may do that this summer when it heats up out here. Somehow a popsicle seems more cooling than a dish of ice cream on a hot day, but I haven't had much luck making them at home.
