These two adorable gents (neither named Humphry or Slocombe) have created a kooky ice cream shop in the heart of a kooky neighborhood and have captured the hearts of hipsters everywhere. Their flavors are quirky but amazing and their personality shines through every recipe in a delightfully genuine way. Did I mention I love them?
Since I started looking at so many ice cream books, I decided I needed a standard by which to judge said book. An even playing field, if you will. I chose Chocolate Ice Cream. I love chocolate ice cream. I love it even more on a homemade marshmallow. Or on a chocolate chip cookie. Or, baring nothing else is in the house, with caramel sauce on top.
On a completely unrelated note, I noticed my face is getting fatter. But let's get back to ice cream.
The boys of Humphry Slocombe don't exactly agree. They even call it "Here's your damn Chocolate Ice Cream." They aren't really ones for "plain Jane" flavors. Now you mix that chocolate with something saucy and they're on board. Their flavors are lovely little things like Balsamic Caramel, Prociutto, and Government Cheese.
But I choose chocolate. And it's a good one. You should make it tonight. Or this morning. Or as soon as you can get your hands on cream and chocolate.
I'll have mine with a marshmallow. And a cherry. Life is a party!
