Mint Desserts
Saturday, April 17th, 2010
In a word, disgusting. I don’t even like mint in toothpaste much less in a dessert! Mint chocolate chip ice cream is the biggest offender, its garrish mint green color studded with low-quality chips. Adding chocolate just adds insult to injury.
The trend of using traditionally savory herbs for ice cream flavors is much more appealing than mint, like Miller Union’s rosemary, thyme and sage. I remember a gorgonzola ice cream that accompanied a pear tart at Top Flr years ago that was delicious. And what about their tobacco flavor? That was all the rage when they first opened.
Junior Mints, peppermint, mint cheesecake, mint fudge brownies, I just don’t get it. By the way, I didn’t actually eat any mint products for this post. (photos care of murder Kroger)
I’m about to make some Aquafresh sorbet….anyone care for some?
