Pink's Ice Cream is a Seattle-based company offering a refreshing selection of dairy and non-dairy ice cream flavors inspired by the flavors the owners grew up with in Bangkok, Thailand. The Asian-inspired ice cream range is available at a wide variety of Seattle-Tacoma area grocers and restaurants, while the brand is a mainstay at festivals and pop-up events in the region.
The enticing flavors on offer from Pink's includes black sesame, Thai tea, mango, green tea, Taro, Durian, red bean and spicy ginger. There are also both dairy and non-dairy versions of a coconut flavor.
Pink's Ice Cream works diligently on each of the flavors to ensure that the texture, flavor and color stay true to traditional Thai ice creams. Pink's serves the ice cream with traditional Thai toppings such as sticky rice, palm seeds, sweet corn, jackfruit and peanuts.
