Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! Did You Have Turkey Ice Cream?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Did you all have food coma yesterday? Well.. I sure did. Could not help but stuffing my face with turkeys, brussel sprouts and everything yummy. Unfortunately, I did not have this turkey ice cream from Baskin Robbins cause I just knew about this yesterday! Ugh..

Well Baskin Robbins is offering ice cream Turkey Cake to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday this year. The cake is “glazed” with Caramel Praline Topping and is decorated with sugar cone legs, and can be customized with a guest’s favorite ice cream flavor. Hm.. I think cookies and cream flavor would go very well with the caramel praline topping! This cake can serve up to 16 people and retail for $32.99. Baskin Robbins also has mini turkey ice cream and offered it d in a family-friendly 4-pack for $12.99. Isn't it perfect? Now when can I have another excuse to gobble up this treat?

Syracuse University Got Their Own Ice Cream Flavor!

Yup! Syracuse University now has their own ice cream flavor called Otto's Cupcake. A 2012 graduate of SU, Eilish Mitchell, teamed up with Perry's Ice Cream to create this sweet concoction of chocolate cake ice cream with orange-colored frosting swirls and pieces of chocolate cupcake.

Making this ice cream was not an easy task. Mitchell had to develop the perfect orange frosting that matches the official orange color which is Pantone 1655. She also fought for the ice cream to get the product's SKU number to be 1144, in honor of famed jersey No. 44. I have to say this is a very well thought ice cream creation!

The flavor was approved by the university this fall and can be found at Fifi's Ice Cream Stand at 3021 James Street and A-La-Mode at 331 Nottingham Road, both in Syracuse, NY. Isn't this cool? So when is NYU going to get our own ice cream flavor?

Stretchy and Chewy Turkish Ice Cream!

Cr: www.chicagotribune.com

My first encounter with Turkish ice cream happened almost a year ago in Turkey. I saw many Turkish ice cream stalls on the streets and got intrigued so I bought it. Turned out Turkish ice cream is different from the usual ice cream because it is so chewy and thick that you can cut it with fork!

Different from the usual ice cream, Turkish ice cream is made with the addition of mastic resin and salep powder. These two  change the structure of the ice cream and lower its melting point. Turkish ice cream makers also use large paddles to knead the ice cream to build on the elasticity. So that's the secret of why Turkish ice cream has stretchy and chewy texture!

Too bad in NYC there are not many places where you can get Turkish ice cream. The only place I know is Victory Garden in West Village. Do you guys know where else to buy Turkish ice cream? Please do let me know because I have been craving for it!

Chili chocolate ice cream sandwich?

Yup you can get that at this placed called Melt Bakery! Actually, that is one of the most famous flavors there! Guess New Yorkers are experimental ice cream eater huh? So.. Thai Fighter $4 (yeah they call it that) is chili chocolate ice cream sandwiched between crisp-chewy curry coconut cookies. Interesting huh?

But if you want to try other flavors, they have many flavors include Thick Mint, a pairing of peppermint ice cream with crackly chocolate cookies or Cinnamax, with cinnamon ice cream and snickerdoodle cookies. Check out their website to find out more about the flavors!

Flavors aside, I think the coolest thing about this bakery is that they have many type of cookie textures. You can choose from crunchy to plush to chewy! And they also do delivery! With minimum of 12 ice cream sandwiches. So.. what are you waiting for? Order away!
