As you all are aware, I love ice cream and I enjoy foods with unique flavors. Hence, I get excited anytime I can try some ice cream featuring flavors that you don't usually see. This is how I happened upon Bold Spoon Creamery and gave some of their pints a taste. I was out with Clarkson and saw the cooler with some intriguing-sounding tastes. I got three pints and over a period of days (I'm trying to not eat too many sweets at once, after all) tried Bold Spoon Creamery out. Let's discuss what I ate...
Brown Butter with Miso Caramel
This one was lovely. A sweet and warm brown butter is calmly complemented by a more salty miso to create a beautiful balance. The contrast reminded me of how I enjoy chocolate-covered potato chips, to give an example of another nice yin-and-yang in flavors. I'd rate this a 4 out of 5 Stars.
Brie with Spiced Honey
The brie flavor was heavenly, and I enjoyed the honey mixed with it, but I will admit the spice definitely had more of a kick than I expected. I don't usually plan to have my ice cream be spicy, but the base of the brie worked well with the acidic heat in the honey. I quite liked it, even if I didn't love it. This rates a still-very-tasty 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
Lavender Vanilla
Now, here's one I did love. The floral lavender was just light enough to leave an impression without overpowering the vanilla bean. As soon as I took my first bite, I knew I'd be finishing the whole pint in one sitting. Out of the three flavors I tried (and there are many more that look superb), this was my favorite. Easily 5 out of 5 Stars.
Bold Spoon Creamery can be found at multiple locations or purchased wholesale. I know I want to go buy some more and try the other flavors--I'm sure they're incredibly tasty too!
