Typically, enjoying something sweet—especially when it’s loaded with sugar—might leave us not feeling our best afterward. However, if the dessert you’re indulging in supports a good cause, why not indulge in 20 of them?
SOMOS Hospitality recently launched a two-part dessert collaboration with Dr. Bombay Ice Cream, a brand founded by Snoop Dogg. The partnership debuted at UMMO in early November, showcasing a specially created dessert by Jesús Escalera, Latin America’s Best Pastry Chef in 2018, along with Juan Chávez.
The first dessert features an orange-shaped design featuring Dr. Bombay’s Iced Out Orange Cream. In January, a second dessert, the Strawberry Cream Dream, crafted by Tzuco’s Pastry Chef, Paola Fernandez, will be introduced.
For every dessert sold, $1 will be donated to Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, a cause that is closer to Snoop Dogg’s heart and a cornerstone of the Chicago community for 120 years, serving more than 15,000 youth across eight locations.
The organization provides a safe, supportive environment for after-school programs and activities, helping young people grow into productive, caring, and responsible citizens. The UMMO dessert will be available for the month of November only.
Germán Gonzalez, Managing Partner of SOMOS Hospitality, said:
SOMOS Hospitality Group grows by pushing the edges of hospitality, and that means working with fun, unexpected brands, which we know energize both our teams and our guests.
Dr. Bombay brings that same spirit: bold flavor and big personality and an innovative take on a category that too often plays it safe. It was really important for both teams for this collaboration to give back to the community, and given Snoop Dogg’s longtime support of BGCC, it was a natural fit. We’re so excited to be bringing this to life in Chicago!
