Salt & Straw launched a new cookbook, America’s Most Iconic Ice Creams, and alongside it, The Cookbook Series as part of its monthly menu series. This collection of ice cream flavors puts a fresh twist on classic flavors, and serves up something to suit every flavor preference. While chocolate lovers with a love of fiery flavors can look forward to indulging in the Chocolate Chili Crisp Peanut Butter Cups variety, prepared with house-made chili crisp peanut butter cups and swirls of peanut butter marshmallow fluff, fans of classic vanilla will appreciate the elevated simplicity of Vanilla Custard with Butterscotch Swirls.
The series also includes a vegan-friendly Coffee Chamomile Sherbet made with a rich coconut cream and oat milk base.
