Fro-yo girl here. This month, Salt & Straw’s The Chef Series features ice cream flavors created with chefs.
The flavors are:
- Cheesecake with Salted Yuzu Curd
- Hong Kong Milk Tea with Toasted White Chocolate
- Chocolate Caramel Smoked Budino
- Starling Sweet Potato Buckwheat Crumble
- Caramelized Plantain with Spicy Pecan Crumble (v)
One of these flavors contains the word yogurt in the description.
Starling Sweet Potato Buckwheat Crumble: “From Dan Barber, iconic chef of Blue Hill at Stone Barns and co-founder of Row 7, this flavor celebrates the Starling purple sweet potato, a new Row 7 variety developed for exceptional flavor. This stunningly purple potato is steamed and whipped with sweet cream, sake lees (the slightly boozy, super flavorful byproduct of sake), and yogurty shio koji (a richly creamy rice sauce) into an earthy, almost ube-like ice cream full of fermented richness. We then drizzle in our Starling sweet potato swirl, cooked with a salty miso, before folding in a nutty buckwheat Florentine crumble.”
I don’t think it’s really a frozen yogurt, although it is made with cultured cream. I decided to try it anyway.
Starling Sweet Potato Buckwheat Crumble: The ice cream had a lot of textural components and flavors. It was thick and had a texture and flavor that reminded me mashed sweet potato. There was also an abundant amount of buckwheat crumble. I loved the buckwheat crumble because of the toasty flavor. It also wasn’t as sweet as a cookie. I could taste the sake, so that definitely made the flavor even more unique. The color was a striking purple. Overall, it was a bit too sweet for me, but I did love the crumble and sweet potato flavor.
You know you love me. X0 X0, fro-yo girl.
