Anyone have a lead on corn ice cream in Los Angeles?
Not cornflake ice cream (thank you nonethelss Mother Moo), and not the nasty stuff that Salt & Straw calls “caramel corn on the cob” which tasted too much like refrigerated movie theater popcorn.
Sweet Rose did offer it after the beginning of this summer - this was at the Pico store. It has become relatively popular according to the server, so they are supposed to continue to offer it as long as they can get their hands on fresh corn. Haven’t been back since Julyy though, so I’m not sure of the current status.
I sure hope so. It’s fantastic. I had it in late July but when I went back 2 weeks ago to the Pico location it was gone. The corn at the farmers market is still pretty fresh and sweet so hopefully they bring back the corn ice cream again this year.
The corn is my son’s favorite flavor there. He always orders it when available - that’s why I asked about it. I’d be surprised if SR has already stopped making the corn ice cream since plenty of good corn can be had and it is very popular. The only wrinkle I can think of is if SR has a specific type or source for corn.
ok, so I liked it more than this description would lead me to believe, but it’s still not something I can eat a lot of. Actually, on my first serving I don’t even think I ate a kid’s size worth.
There is distinctive taste of buttered corn, with caramel ribbons. So it’s caramel x corn on the cob.
I was at Fosselman’s yesterday and they did have sweet corn ice cream available in the pre-packed half gallon fridge. I can’t remember if I saw it available on the board by the scoop.
