We tried Sideshow's nacho cheese and jalapeño gelato

Sideshow Gelato in Lincoln Square has been serving up a thrilling mix of tricks and treats for more than a year now, and its latest offering mixes a bit of both.

The treat: Sanjula's Nacho Daddy gelato ($11) named after one of the Sideshow Gelato's performance emcees Sanjula Vamana.

• Resident gelato chef Jake Biznick combines cheddar cheesecake gelato with candied jalapeños, Tajin and waffle cone chips to create the look of nachos but the taste of ice cream.

The verdict: Creamy, sweet and cheesy. I was kind of bummed not to get a sprinkling of sour and salty Tajin during a recent anonymous visit.

• But I still loved scooping up this gelato spiked with delightfully spicy jalapeños in the wacky Sideshow environment.
• A little goes a long way, and this dessert offers plenty for two.
