Book Dessert Food Truck Catering in Houston, TX
Food Truck Club is a catering booking platform that connects you with vetted dessert food trucks in Houston, TX.
Houston knows how to beat the heat—and our dessert food trucks bring that same spirit to your events. From creamy paletas inspired by the city's Latin American roots to refreshing shaved ice that's been a local favorite since the '60s, we connect you with Houston's most loved sweet treat vendors for corporate gatherings, weddings, and celebrations of every size.
Houston's Favorite Sweet Treats, Served Fresh at Your Event
Houston's dessert scene reflects the city itself—diverse, bold, and full of flavor. These are the treats your guests will line up for.
Shaved Ice & Raspas
A Houston staple since the 1960s, raspas and shaved ice remain the go-to for beating Texas heat. Local trucks serve everything from classic fruit flavors to chamoyadas—the beloved combination of mango and tangy chamoy sauce that's distinctly Houston. Light, refreshing, and available in dozens of vibrant flavors, shaved ice works beautifully for outdoor events and company picnics.
Ice Cream & Paletas
Houston's ice cream trucks go far beyond vanilla and chocolate. You'll find rolled ice cream crafted on frozen pans, nostalgic soft-serve from trucks like Mister Softee, and artisan paletas—Mexican-style popsicles made with fresh fruit and cream that have deep roots in the city's food culture. These treats offer something for everyone, from kids to executives.
Churros & Mexican-Inspired Sweets
Freshly fried churros dusted with cinnamon sugar bring warmth and nostalgia to any gathering. Many Houston trucks offer churro sundaes, filled churros, and other Latin American-inspired treats that reflect the city's rich culinary heritage. The aroma alone draws a crowd.
Waffles & Crepes
Houston's waffle and crepe trucks serve up golden, made-to-order treats loaded with fresh fruit, chocolate, whipped cream, and creative toppings. These versatile desserts work equally well for morning events, afternoon breaks, or late-night celebrations—and they photograph beautifully.
Gourmet Cookies & Ice Cream Sandwiches
Warm, fresh-baked cookies paired with premium ice cream create the kind of indulgent treat that turns a good event into a memorable one. Houston trucks serve up creative combinations and generous portions that guests won't stop talking about.
Mini Donuts & Sweet Bites
Bite-sized treats are ideal when you want variety without overwhelming your guests. Mini donuts made fresh on-site, gourmet cupcakes, cake pops, and assorted sweet bites give everyone a chance to sample without committing to a full dessert. Perfect for networking events where guests are mingling.
Why Event Planners Choose Food Trucks
The catering choice that delivers on taste and experience
Built for Houston Weather
With summer temperatures regularly reaching the mid-90s, cooling treats aren't just nice to have—they're essential. Dessert trucks are equipped to serve frozen treats even in the heat, and options like shaved ice and paletas offer guests a refreshing break that traditional catering simply can't match.
Fresh, Made-to-Order Service
Everything is prepared right in front of your guests—ice cream scooped, waffles pressed, churros fried. This isn't just about freshness (though that matters). It's about creating a moment. Guests love watching their treats being made, and the truck itself becomes a gathering point.
Flexible for Any Guest Count
Whether you're hosting an intimate team lunch of 30 or a company-wide celebration of 500, dessert trucks scale to fit. We've helped coordinate events serving 800 people with multiple trucks working together seamlessly. Tell us your headcount and we'll match you with the right setup.
Hassle-Free from Start to Finish
You share the details, and we handle the rest—finding available trucks, confirming logistics, and coordinating day-of timing. Trucks arrive self-contained and ready to serve, so there's nothing for your team to manage.

Common Questions About Dessert Food Truck Catering in Houston
What you need to know before booking.
How do dessert trucks handle Houston's summer heat?
Houston dessert trucks are built for our climate. They're equipped with commercial freezers, refrigeration units, and generators that keep everything cold regardless of outdoor temperatures. Many offer treats specifically designed for hot weather—shaved ice, frozen paletas, and soft-serve that guests can enjoy immediately. For outdoor summer events, we recommend scheduling service during morning or evening hours when temperatures are more moderate.
What's the typical cost to book a dessert truck in Houston?
Most Houston dessert trucks charge a minimum ranging from $500 to $1,500 for private events, depending on the type of desserts, guest count, and service duration. Per-person pricing typically falls between $8 and $15. We'll provide quotes from multiple trucks so you can compare options that fit your budget. There's no charge to request quotes through Food Truck Club.
How far ahead should I book for a Houston event?
For the best selection, book 2-4 weeks out for smaller events and 4-8 weeks for large gatherings, popular dates like holidays, or peak wedding season (October through May in Houston, when outdoor weather is most comfortable). That said, we've helped clients find excellent trucks on shorter notice when schedules allow. The sooner you reach out, the more options you'll have.
Can dessert trucks accommodate dietary restrictions?
Many Houston dessert trucks offer options for guests with dietary needs. Fruit-based paletas and shaved ice are naturally dairy-free. Some trucks provide vegan ice cream, gluten-free options, or sugar-free alternatives. Let us know your requirements when you request a quote, and we'll match you with trucks that can accommodate your guests.
What do we need to provide for the dessert truck?
Most dessert trucks are completely self-contained—they bring their own power, equipment, and supplies. You just need to provide a flat parking space with enough clearance (typically 12-14 feet for height). Some trucks may request access to an electrical outlet as a backup. We'll confirm all requirements before your event so there are no surprises on the day.
What areas do Houston dessert trucks serve?
Most dessert trucks serve the entire Houston metro including downtown, Galleria, Memorial, Sugar Land, Katy, The Woodlands, and Clear Lake. Travel fees may apply for distant locations.
Can dessert trucks serve at corporate events?
Absolutely. Ice cream socials, employee appreciation events, and client gatherings all benefit from dessert truck service. Many trucks specialize in corporate catering with efficient service and professional presentation.
What's the best dessert option for large outdoor events?
Shaved ice and paletas are ideal for Houston's outdoor events—they're refreshing in the heat and serve quickly. For seated events, ice cream, churros, and waffles work beautifully.
Do dessert trucks offer sugar-free options?
Many Houston dessert trucks offer sugar-free shaved ice flavors, sorbet options, and fruit-based treats. Let us know your dietary needs and we'll match you with appropriate vendors.
Can I book a dessert truck alongside a main food truck?
Yes! Pairing a dessert truck with a taco, burger, or BBQ truck creates a complete catering experience. We coordinate multi-truck events regularly and can help plan the timing.
