Sweet Potato Pie ice cream

Sweet Potato Pie ice cream combines the warmth of autumn pie spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves - with the lingering delight of a summer treat.  The marshmallow swirl stays gooey in the fluffy ochre ice cream.  As it melts in your mouth, you'll be left hoping that your Thanksgiving and Christmas pies live up to this experience!

Time seems to move faster when temperatures fall.  In autumn, the city comes alive with new restaurants and a reunion of friends after their summer travels.  Just as the wind kicks colorful leaves in the air in spiral cyclones, the brisk chill energizes me to reconnect with friends and reflect upon the warm months behind us.  This "back to school" excitement always takes me by surprise.  

The flurry of excitement can also be exhausting, and can leave me longing for a cozy weekend day at home.  And nothing tastes cozier than pie...with ice cream.

Voted the Best Ice Cream in DC!

On July 21, 2013, thousands of ice cream fans voted for Ice Cream Jubilee as the People's Choice for Best Ice Cream in Washington, DC at Union Market's DC Scoop competition.  

Nineteen ice cream businesses competed to win the votes of over 7,500 ice cream fans on the hot summer day.  

 

Look how many people we served!  Guess how many spoons are in this bin by August 1 2013 and win a special prize!

I am tremendously grateful to everyone who has helped build Ice Cream Jubilee, from making ice cream to providing moral support.  Thank you for everything, and stay tuned for our next big steps!  

We served four flavors in our tents, and our mobile ice cream volunteers gave two additional flavors to the patient fans in line.

Thank you!

Banana Bourbon Caramel ice cream

Banana Bourbon Caramel was the flavor that started it all.

In July 2010, in a Brooklyn Farm, five chefs vied for the "best ice cream" title at the Minnesota State Fair (satellite location).  Coconut Lychee Lime sorbet and Fresh Fig & Cream were worthy competitors, but nothing wowed the crowd like Banana Bourbon Caramel.  Jeff, and Emily, Jon and Jenna, Patrick and Erica, were my creative inspiration while I lived in New York City.  Check out their work -- I guarantee you'll be impressed!

Three years later in Washington, DC, Banana Bourbon Caramel has become one of the most requested flavors in my repertoire.  The strength of the bourbon cuts through the sweetness and the childhood familiarity of the banana flavor.  A dash of cinnamon and base of real vanilla ties it all together.  

It tastes like nothing you've tried before, but also like something you always should have been eating.  It is a slam-dunk blue ribbon flavor.

Now selling at Glen's Garden Market!

Ice Cream Jubilee flavors are flying off the shelves at Glen's Garden Market on S and 20th St, NW, Washington, DC.  Stop by to pick up 8oz of Raspberry Rose, Thai Iced Tea, Cardamom Black Pepper, Chai Tea, and more - each $3.49.

If you're lucky, I might even be there with free samples.

Thai Iced Tea ice cream

Thai iced tea is one of my ice cream flavors that I find myself craving during the day when I'm far from my freezer.  Brewed from strong ceylon tea, the bright orange drink is made creamy with condensed or evaporated milk.  It has a sweet, smoky flavor that is surprisingly subtle, when compared to its bright orange hue.  

 

When I visited Thailand several years ago, I was excited anticipating the pad thai and thai iced tea sold by street vendors.  Immediately, I learned that this one dish and drink popular in the United States is just one of many things to try.  All juices from street vendors are served in plastic bags, which can be held like groceries or hung from the handlebars of a tuk-tuk or bicycle.  It reminded me of a giant capri sun made better by the fact that I didn't have to negotiate a tiny little straw.

Tapioca pearls, orange blossom water, star anise, and crushed tamarind seed can be added to the tea to enhance the flavor.  I'm looking forward to making ice cream of all the different tastes of my travels.  Maybe it's time to take another trip to Southeast Asia...
