I already liked the place because they can pack some amazingly intense flavors into their ice cream. My husband doesn't like ice cream in general, but he loves their Campfire S'mores flavor. It seriously tastes like you roasted your marshmallow on a fire and then swirled it into the ice cream. Yum!!!
But this last time I went, I was truly in awe. And if you're a parent to a child with allergies, you'll know what I mean. I noticed a board that has some flavors listed for gluten free, dairy free and allergy conscious. You do have to buy it in pre-packaged containers, but that keeps it that much safer. =)
So I asked about the board and I was shown the ingredient list for the base and they use a vegan, gluten free, oat milk base for this series of flavors. The worker suggested that I email to get more exact information, which I sent off a few days ago. I got the response today and am so excited. They gave me a list of the ingredients for each flavor.
Strawberry Basil, Blueberry Lemon, Royal Dutch, Golden Passionfruit & Jade Matcha.
(They did note that the Royal Dutch has a potential for milk cross-contamination with the chocolate due to shared equipment, so avoid that if your dairy allergy is extreme.)
We haven't told my son yet that some of these flavors are safe for him. So for the first time in a long while, he'll be able to go out and have a treat with the family in the shop. I can't wait to see his joy.
