Salt & Straw
The limited ice cream flavors for February 2023 at Salt & Straw are part of the “The Chocolatiers Series.” The series features five flavors created in partnership with the country’s most renowned chocolatiers.
Here are the flavors:
- Cloudforest Chocolate Ishpingo & Mango – A tart lemon verbena sherbet spiced with ishpingo (a warm, cinnamon-y spice grown in the forests of Ecuador) is swirled with a delightfully intense dark chocolate ice cream created in collaboration with Cloudforest. A ripple of mango curd marries the contrasting flavors with a loving tropical touch.
- Compartés Coffee & Love Nuts – Created in tribute to Compartés founder Jonathan Grahm’s mission to share love through chocolate, a smooth, caramel-y medium roast coffee from Columbia is brewed, then blended with cream, and studded with Compartés immaculate Love Nuts (pecans caramelized in tahitian vanilla, sprinkled with sea salt, then coated in 14 layers of chocolate).
- Dandelion Cocoa Nibs & Frangipane – Dandelion’s dark cocoa nibs are steeped to create a stunning roasted chocolate base, then candied and tossed back into the ice cream for double the cocoa power. A velvety frangipane swirl flecked with bits of crushed almonds is gently folded in.
- Exquisito Guanabana Stracciatella – Caribbean guanabana (aka soursop) is an extraordinary fruit with a distinctly sweet and creamy flavor. It’s blended into a bright, refreshing guanabana sherbet. It’s then adorned with a ribbon of a roasty, floral Exquisito dark chocolate stracciatella.
- Fran’s Almond Gold Bar – Bite-sized Fran’s Chocolates’ iconic Almond Gold Bars tossed into a silky salted vanilla ice cream. Ribbons of heavenly hand-burned caramel and ultra rich dark chocolate stracciatella are then drizzled in.
