milkmade flavor of the day: Red Rumrooibos-cinnamon ice cream with rum ballsOur flavor creation process is sometimes based around one main ingredient (Watermelon Snow), sometimes it’s an ice cream rendition of our favorite dessert (Red Velvet Cake), and sometimes a flavor name is so perfect that we have to concoct a ‘scream to match.  Red Rum was a hybrid of ingredient and name - we long ago realized that our favorite red tea makes a killer ‘scream, especially when paired with a touch of cinnamon and vanilla. So silky and light, yet full of flavor. Yum. When deciding what to mix in, the name Red Rum came to mind. Perfect! Especially for the spooky month of October. But how to incorporate rum? After many failed attempts at a rooibos-rum base, we almost gave up on Red Rum. But then - enter Emily Dubner of Baking for Good who created, just for MilkMade, these rum balls. They’re so good, I can’t keep my hands off them. It’s a cookie dough/donut hole/shot of rum in each ball. And we’re packing them into our rooibos pints this October. Watchout!  Note that we recognize our pals Ben & Jerry just announced their Schweddy Balls ‘scream. It truly was a coincidence - the announcement came the day after we placed the order with Baking for Good. Great minds, or something!

milkmade flavor of the day: Watermelon Snowsalted watermelon ice cream  Have you ever seen old snow? You know - it’s summer and you’re on a hike in high altitude and you come across lingering snow from the past winter. It has a pinkish/reddish tint to it. If you get a bit closer to it, you can smell a slight scent of watermelon. Well, wouldn’t you know, that’s called watermelon snow! Seriously, it’s a thing. And an awesome name for a watermelon ‘scream. Ours, though, isn’t just a pint of old snow. It’s a salted watermelon ice cream, made with fresh local sugar baby watermelons and sea salt from Maine.

milkmade flavor of the day: Endless Summera summer blend of hibiscus and ginger, with notes of melon and citrus  It’s September. Labor Day is nigh. The humidity in New York has passed. Soon gone are Summer Fridays, trips to Warm Up at PS1, day long picnics in Sheep’s Meadow, morning sessions at Rockaway, and ride-agains on the Cyclone. For you all, at least. In our world, summer never ends!

milkmade flavor of the month 2: Pop Tartsfresh apricot ice cream with homemade pop tarts  Per the recommendation of our pals at Red Jacket Orchards, apricot was the ripest, freshest fruit available this month. So we whipped up a creamy roasted apricot ice cream, and paired it with the delicious blueberry homemade pop tarts from Pies N Thighs for our second flavor offering for August. Ahh  - so good! Here are the nectarines.. so fresh!

HAPPY MONDAY! Here’s something to start your day. flavor of the month 1: Debt by Chocolatedense white chocolate ice cream studded with dark chocolate chips You can’t get away from the debt debate these days, can you? Even here in our kitchen (what - I went to business school! I love it). So, in all honestly, the name came first. Instead of Death by Chocolate it’s Debt by Chocolate.. get it? And it was a perfect opportunity to present our awesome white chocolate flavor we created recently. This is a super dense white chocolate ice cream made with Green and Black’s organic white chocolate, studded with dark chocolate chips from the Brothers Mast.
