Online reviews rave about the lavender’s flowery creaminess and it might just be the perfect ice cream to enjoy on my patio during a summer night. But this time I think I will be adventurous and try the lavender ice cream…in addition to the Turkish Coffee again. Dang blasted.Īh well, that just means another trip to Whole Foods. It’s tacky to take back the dessert you brought, right? But I heard that my friend’s girlfriend was more than happy to finish it off after I left. Unfortunately, I had to leave the carton behind when I said my adieus at the end of the night. And I was this close to licking the bowl. The ice cream wasn’t icey but had a smooth texture and melted into a nice thick shake that I was eager to guzzle down. The deep, rich flavor of coffee ice cream - except this had a bit more kick than mere coffee ice cream - and creaminess made for a pleasant “ohhhh yeahhh” experience. Like having coffee and dessert at the same time. It was the perfect way to end our dinner of stuffed bell peppers and rice. My friend dished out only a couple of scoops into big bowls and we enjoyed the ice cream while watching Dazed and Confused. I had left the carton out for about half an hour near the end of dinner so that it would be ready to serve. Sure enough, this was a big hit with my friends. And then I espied Mashti Malone’s Turkish Coffee ice cream ($4.99). But experimenting with a whole carton? Not so much. A couple of scoops at the store to try for the first time? Yeah. And even if I were looking for a carton for just me, I don’t know if I can handle one pint of lavender all by myself. However, all the flavors (ice cream and sorbet) sounded a bit too unusual for my friends: lavender, saffron rosewater with pistachios, ginger rosewater, orange blossom and pomegranate. Cool! Apparently Whole Foods has been carrying Mashti’s since the beginning of the year. I know, bad Angeleno! But last night in Whole Foods Market as I was searching for an interesting dessert to bring to my friend’s house for dinner, I saw cartons and cartons of Mashti Malone’s ice cream alongside the organic, health foodie gourmet ice cream brands. So as of today, I still haven’t ventured to the store. But by every summer’s end, I find myself promising to check it out next year instead (I feel ice cream could better be appreciated when it’s hot outside). Every summer, I keep meaning to drive allll the way to Hollywood to try out Mashti Malone’s exotic ice cream flavors.
