January Seasonal Flavors!
January 12, 2021
This month we are celebrating the inauguration of President Elect Joe Biden and Vice President Elect Kamala Harris by bringing back Pie-den Kam-ala Mode. As is tradition, we always make a special seasonal flavor for the democratic presidential candidate. In September 2020, we introduced Pie-den Kam-ala Mode - a honeycrisp apple pie ice cream, using delicious apples from the Collin's Family Orchards, studded with house-made streusel crumble and swirled with a chai-spiced caramel. We are thrilled (on so many levels) to be bringing this delicious flavor back just in time to celebrate the transition of power on January 20th!
Nothing makes you feel like a kid again quite like drinking those last few sweet sips of cereal milk after a bowl of your favorite cereal! Enjoy a heavy dose of nostalgia with our cocoa crispy milk ice cream this month. Years ago we developed a recipe for chocolate waffle cones, and when a member of our mooncrew team took a bite they exclaimed “this tastes like cocoa crispies!” The uncanny flavor of this ice cream is made with those very same chocolate waffle cones! Pulverized into a powder, we add the chocolatey dust into our ice cream base and then a second helping of the cone dust after the ice cream has been churned. This delectable flavor will also be available at Hello Robin, our favorite cookie shop!
Though we’re in the throes of winter, it doesn’t mean we can’t have a big scoop of sunshine. We’ve made the perfect zippy, bright, and tangy lemon bar ice cream. Our homemade lemon bars are buttery and bursting with lemon flavor from swirling our lemon curd with a thick lemon marmalade made from cooking down whole lemons in sugar. We take the lemon bars and coat them in a sweet glaze before tossing them into freshly spun, fluffy, rich lemon ice cream. You can grab this perky flavor at our shops, including our Madrona walk up window, as well as Hello Robin.
One request we get often is to make dairy-free versions of our always flavors. So this month we’re bringing vegan scout mint into our scoop shops! We take Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies (which are vegan!) and fold them into a rich coconut milk base spiked with peppermint. Just like the dairy version of this flavor, we use thin mint cookies we buy from the Girl Scout troop from Mary’s Place, a non-profit organization with the mission of empowering homeless women and children to reclaim their lives by providing shelter, nourishment, resources, healing and hope in a safe community. This yummy vegan flavor will be at all of our scoops shops, including the Madrona walk up window, and at Hello Robin!
