New York City's The Dessert Kitchen is a venue that's currently serving a unique dessert that's being referred to as "ice cream ramen." The unusual dessert is actually made from kanten, which also goes by agar or agar-agar in other parts of the world, which is known as a gelatinous substance that's made from algae.
The dessert blends kanten with mixed fruit and a sauce, available in a range of novel flavors such as brown sugar, green tea milk and "kyoho," or grape.
Just as there are many types of ramen in the world to enjoy, this noodle-like dessert offers those with a sweet tooth the chance to return to The Dessert Kitchen time and time again in order to have new food experiences.
