It used to be that America’s long fascination with Ice Cream started and ended with Vanilla and Chocolate Flavors. Then parlors such as Steve’s Mix-In of Boston came along- I still remember the first time I tried one made by Steve himself. Then Ben & Jerry’s and soon Ice cream went Hollywood.
Today we have a host of Gourmet Ice Cream flavors to consider, some with prices that rival a decent bottle of wine. Even Dogs and Pets are getting dedicated Ice Creams just for them. WOW!
Today a number of boutique, smaller dairies are creating flavors which by some seem exotic but to the locals, they are truly flavors of comfort as the ingredients are usually grown locally.
Check out these unusual flavors and if your lucky enough to taste any of these, send us a comment to let us know what you think. Read More …..

Somebody created a “Chilli Chocolate” flavour as part of the Perth Multicultural Arts Festival a year or so ago. Sweet, cold, with a bite you got right at the end of every mouthful. Very very good but you had to make sure the manufacturer got the proportions right – too much of either and it didn’t quite work.
Also in Australia we have a chain called “Cold Rock” and what they do is let you pick a flavour and they mix it in with whatever candy you choose on a “cold rock” or a cold iced surface that prevents the ice cream from melting while you do it. I am not sure if that is the same thing as the Steve’s Mix In that you mentioned. I never saw it in the U.S. despite living there for two years – it was such a novel idea to me when I first saw it on moving to Australia.
My favourite is Chocolate with chocolate truffles or fudge in it.
Cheers, Marisa.
