Weird and wonderful flavors worth a try
Sweet cream is a blank canvas, and these recipes paint it with flavors you would never expect in ice cream. Dill Pickle tastes like a frozen pickle cheesecake, Miso Caramel uses white miso in place of salt, and Olive Oil & Sea Salt Gelato uses fruity olive oil instead of cream.
Many are classics somewhere in the world: Sweet Corn ice cream is loved across Asia and Latin America, Thai Iced Tea tastes like the sweet iced tea sold at street stalls, and Saffron Rose Pistachio (Bastani) comes from Persia. Start with Chili Crisp Vanilla if you like sweet and spicy in the same bite.
Good to know
- Taste the base before freezing. Cold dulls flavor, so it should taste a little too strong at room temperature.
- Savory notes like miso, pickle brine and blue cheese go a long way. Follow the recipe amounts the first time.
- Spoon chili crisp on top rather than mixing it in, so everyone controls the heat.
- Serve small scoops: a surprising flavor is more fun as a tasting than as a bowlful.
Questions people ask

Probably Dill Pickle. It sounds strange, but sweet cream with salty, sour brine tastes like a pickle cheesecake.
Do savory ice creams taste salty?
Not really. The savory note sits behind the sweetness, like the salt in salted caramel. Strawberry Balsamic Black Pepper tastes of ripe strawberries, not vinegar.
Which wild flavors are dairy-free?
Avocado Lime, Chili Mango Sorbet, Cucumber Mint Lime Sorbet and Lychee Rose Sorbet are dairy-free and vegan.
