FLAVORS OF THE MONTH: MAY 2012 May already? Here are our flavors of the month! Potpourria medley of floral notes in sweet cream ice creamAs spring approaches, we like to take a day trip out to East Marion, NY to Lavender by the Bay and pretend we’re rendezvousing through the Routes de Lavande in Provence, France. This year, we thought we’d spruce our lavender flavor up a bit with some more floral. Potpourri seemed an appropriate name.  So here you have our new favorite spring time flavor.  Honey Roasted Honeycombhoney roasted peanut butter ice cream with chunks of fresh local honeycombWe don’t know about you guys, but we’ve always found it difficult to find a good peanut butter ice cream. Until now. This month we’re teaming up with Saratoga Peanut Butter Co to bring you a Honey Roasted Peanut Butter ‘scream. Pair it with chunks of honeycomb made from local Andrew’s Honey and it’s a pb lover’s (aka my) dream come true.

milkmade flavor of the month: German Chocolate Cakechocolate coconut ice cream with toasted pecans, layered with a rum-spiked toasted-coconut caramel sauceOur version of a traditional German Chocolate Cake. In ice cream form, of course. Made this one last summer to send to my father in sunny California in place of the actual German Chocolate Cake that we bake him every year for his birthday. Now we’re finally releasing it for our members. Made with Mast Brothers Conacado chocolate. That’s one intense pint!

milkmade flavor of the month: Semifreddopistachio and candied almond ice cream with a swirl of honey There’s a little hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant near our hood in Hell’s Kitchen that we call our own. We frequent it often, and each time order this delicious dessert, my new favorite - Semifreddo. It was love at first bite and I knew I had to recreate it in a pint to share with you all. The restaurant? We’ll never tell.

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!
