We’ve had Rolf’s sourdough ice cream twice now, the second time things looked a little bit different since it came in a take out box along with the rest of our dinner, dropped on our doorstep by a gloved and masked delivery person. That tasted like sweet, toasted sourdough bread. At one point we looked at each other, our eyes widening over the tops of our spoons, not quite believing what we were tasting. The dish arrived, and rather than scoops of ice cream like I expected, the ice cream was spread on top of a cake-like layer underneath and topped with sweet crunchy bits (I don’t exactly recall the exact components, I just know that it was one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time). I may have drooled a little bit.ĭespite it sounding a little bit weird, I knew I just had to try it, and ordered a serving for us to share.

My stomach growled (how that was possible I have no idea). And a sprinkle of sweet sourdough breadcrumbs on top makes for the perfect textural contrast to the rich, custard-based ice cream.īack in December (you know, back when eating out at restaurants was totally normally and not terrifying) we sat down to a wonderful meal at Rolf & Daughters-one of our favorite neighborhood spots that never disappoints.Īfter a soul-satisfying meal, we glanced at the dessert menu, sure that we were too stuffed to even consider another bite. You won’t believe your tastebuds: this homemade ice cream tastes just like freshly baked sourdough bread! Topped with crunchy caramelized breadcrumbs, it’s a truly unique and delicious treat you have to taste to believe.īread-flavored ice cream might sound a bit weird, but trust me on this one: it’s simply divine.
