What We’re Eating Now: December 2016

This month’s favorites: Yes, we’re craving ice cream in December. Specifically, a host of new flavors so good they override winter’s chill.

12.16 eggnog pma91b

Eggnog frozen custard with cinnamon topping.

Sun Liquor Fancy Eggnog Frozen Custard 

While neither as boozy nor noggy as the Sun Liquor seasonal favorite, a pint of Snoqualmie Ice Cream’s latest collaboration is a mainline hit of Christmas. One you can share with the kids.

Salt and Straw at Home Remedy 

Tom Douglas’s Home Remedy is the first and only place in town to sell pints of Portland’s favorite ice cream; if the flavor based on T-Doug’s coconut cream pie is in stock, grab it and make haste to the register.

Frankie and Jo’s Chocolate Date Ice Cream 

I figured the new line of plant-based ice cream created by the owners of Hot Cakes and Juicebox would be good. You know…if you’re vegan. But, goddamn. This is date-worthy milk shake richness meets deep, clarion chocolate—decadent no matter your dietary situation.

PieScream at A La Mode Pie 

Why yes, these are your favorite A La Mode Pie flavors made into ice cream: Mexican chocolate, blue Hawaiian, bourbon butterscotch, and more. The new West Seattle location whips these into boozy milk shakes too.
