i scream . for nouveau flavors

As the weather warms up, my thoughts go to hot, humid nights and their perfect match…ice cream. And yes, chocolate and vanilla will always have a place in my heart, but what really excites me are the unusual and often jaw dropping flavors finding their way into gourmet ice cream bowls. From beet to avocado to (yes, that’s right) candied bacon, the sky is the limit! Why not make an event experience out of the traditional ice cream bar by tasting nouveau flavors that will get guests talking?…
