Had an Orange Creamsicle?

This flavor instantly transports me back to being a kid. I've recreated this nostalgic flavor by marbling a tart orange sherbet with a creamy vanilla. I've been enjoying watching kids choose this flavor all week long, and sharing a bite with their sister or mom to show off and share what a good flavor it is.

Look closely and you can spot the Cara Cara orange zest in this. It takes soooo many oranges to make this one flavor, so enjoy this while I we have it. It's limited, so make your plans to stop by this weekend.

The Menu

Signature + Unique Flavors:
Black Sesame
Matcha
Houjicha Honey Milk
Pandan + Rice

I watched a woman come back two days in a row for Pandan + Rice. It's that special, and it's on its way out. I think it really says something that I'm making something that lives so strongly in someone's mind that they have to come back the very next day to have it again. It's made with authentic pandan leaves that I picked for the strongest natural aroma of popcorn meets jasmine rice. If you've never had rice mixed in ice cream (an Italian thing) now is your chance to try why people like it - it starts off as a crunch then quickly melts in your mouth to chewy then ends creamy like risotto. This is your last call for this flavor.

Classic + Nostalgic:
Almond Cookie
Coffee
Cookies and Cream
Fierce Chocolate
Haupia (v)
Frosted Flakes
Orange Creamsicle
Vanilla Bean

What makes our vanilla so good? Both the inside of the pod and the outside of the pod has vanilla flavor. I use the whole thing to make vanilla extract from scratch, and then I use the whole thing ground to a powder which are the flecks you see inside. If you're springing for buying a vanilla bean at home, DO NOT just scrape the inside! Don't waste the pod! If you're infusing something, split it in half lengthwise and cook the whole thing - pod as well.

Cherry Chocolate Amaretto

I made a limited 1 time batch of this super nostalgic throwback flavor - Cherry Chocolate Amaretto. It's got that classic almond creamy gelato flavor with little bits of chocolate covered cacao nibs from our local chocolate maker Manoa Chocolate, and of course the scratch made black cherry reduction. I just put this out, and I wouln't take any chances waiting!

Want to taste the matchas that I brought back from Japan? I did about 8 tests in Japan to select these two matchas that I'm using to make our matcha gelato. It has bitterness and tannins that wonderfully balance out the natural sweetness with a hint of that classic matcha umami - perfect for all of you who want something NOT TOO SWEET!
