February Seasonal Flavors 💕



KASHMIRI PINK TEA
INSPIRED BY: PAKISTAN

GUNPOWDER GREEN TEA, A HINT OF CARDAMOM, AND LONG SIMMERING MAKE THIS BUTTERY, CREAMSICLE-LIKE MILK TEA ICE CREAM WITH BITS OF PISTACHIO THROUGHOUT. (CONTAINS: DAIRY, EGG, NUTS)
NOYAUX + PRALINES ROSES
INSPIRED BY: LYON, FRANCE

CRÉME DE NOYAUX ICE CREAM WITH PIECES OF LYONNAISE CRUNCHY PINK CANDIED ALMONDS. (CONTAINS: DAIRY, EGG, NUTS)

Hidden Within The Pit Of On Apricot, Plum, Peach, Or Cherry Is A Kernel, Or Noyau, Rife With The Perfume Of Almonds, Vanilla, Apricots And Lilies. The Fragrance Is Intoxicating, simultaneously familiar and indescribable, and entirely worth extracting. We toasted them and left them in a bath of vodka to make a noyaux extract that flavored this ice cream spun with lyonnaise crunchy pink pralined almonds.   
RASPBERRY LYCHEE ROSE
INSPIRED BY: PARIS, FRANCE

INSPIRED BY A CLASSIC FLAVOR COMBINATION FOUND IN PARISIAN PATISSERIES: RASPBERRIES, LYCHEES, + ROSEWATER, COMBINED INTO A JUICY FLORAL SORBET. (VEGAN AND DAIRY FREE)

"In the late 1990’s, pastry chef Pierre Hermé (one of my idols) sandwiched a layer of raspberries on rose buttercream, with a juicy lychee in the middle, between two soft pink macarons. He named it “Ispahan”, after an ancient Persian city famous for its Damask roses. In my early twenties, I sunk my teeth into one standing just two feet outside the door of his patisserie on rue Bonaparte (I couldn’t wait), and tasted what I could only describe as Valentine’s Day when my sister asked “how is it?” Now an iconic Parisian dessert, with iterations found everywhere in Paris patisseries 🍰, the Ispahan inspires our yearly February seasonal sorbet of raspberries, lychees, & rosewater. Treat your Valentine to a trip to Paris with this sorbet that comes to our stores for only 28 days out of the year"- Chef Adrienne 

BROWN BUTTER HONEY CORNBREAD
INSPIRED BY: BLACK HISTORY MONTH

BROWN BUTTER + SMOKED HONEY ICE CREAM WITH PIECES OF HOUSEMADE CORNBREAD. (CONTAINS: DAIRY, EGG, WHEAT/GLUTEN)

CORNBREAD IS AS AMERICAN AS APPLE PIE. YET GENERALLY LEFT OUT OF THE DISCUSSION OF AMERICAN CUISINE, IS THE INFLUENCE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE & ENSLAVED AFRICANS THAT SHAPED THIS COUNTRY’S CULINARY HERITAGE, PARTICULARLY IN THE SOUTH. CORNBREAD-THE CORNERSTONE OF SOUTHERN CUISINE- IS JUST ONE EXAMPLE.THIS FLAVOR IS INSPIRED BY A BLACK CREOLE DISH CALLED “COUSH COUSH” - MADE FROM LEFTOVER CORNBREAD CRUMBLED IN COLD MILK OR BUTTERMILK, AND SOMETIMES SWEETENED WITH SMOKY MOLASSES OR HONEY. COUSH COUSH IS SAID TO HAVE ITS ROOTS IN “KUSHA”, A COUSCOUS-LIKE DISH OF STEAMED OR BOILED GRAINS FROM WEST AFRICA.

We take smoked honey and burnt butter and churn it into an ice cream bursting with caramelized flavors then crumble in sweet cornbread 🌽 throughout for this month’s “Brown Butter Honey Cornbread”.

PROCEEDS FROM THIS FLAVOR GO TO SOUL FIRE FARM - AN AFRO-INDIGENOUS CENTERED COMMUNITY FARM COMMITTED TO UPROOTING RACISM AND SEEDING SOVEREIGNTY IN THE FOOD SYSTEM.
OOLONG PINEAPPLE TART
INSPIRED BY: TAIWAN

JIN XUAN MILK OOLONG ICE CREAM, WITH HOUSEMADE PINEAPPLE JAM & PIECES OF BUTTERY TAIWANESE-STYLE PINEAPPLE PASTRY. (CONTAINS: DAIRY, EGG, WHEAT/GLUTEN)


this month’s best selling flavor- one we keep bringing back year after year for Lunar New Year.
