This one is for my twin sister, Jolie. Last week, she put in a request for "Peanut Butter & Jolie" so I went ahead and made it for her. As I'm in the homestretch of this project, my last flavors are all really personal and some are odes to the people who have inspired me the most. While my sister has never made ice cream (and can't even eat it!) I'm inspired by her "hustling" attitude. Scoopsies owes a lot to my sister (and her boyfriend, Jeff, who has been designing my logos in exchange for Anna's Taqueria). And even though she can't try PB & Jolie, I wanted to show my gratitude by dedicating one of my last "scoopsies" to her.
Trouble makers. This was probably taken right before we shut off our brother's Zelda game, one minute before he was about to beat it!

Now, back to the ice cream...(sort of...)
Deciding on the "Jolie" was easy...
Not too long ago a friend of ours had saved a few newborn kittens from a shelter that was going to put them all to sleep. They were taken away from their mother too soon and were in very poor health. Jolie adopted one of the kittens and named her Raspberry.
Raspberry could fit in the palm of your hand and would meow if you left her alone for more than fifteen seconds.
Peanut Butter & Jolie ice cream is a peanut butter base with a Raspberry jam swirl.
Scoopsies' Peanut Butter & Jolie Ice Cream is made with: peanut butter, heavy cream, whole milk, sugar, egg yolks, raspberries, and vodka.
"I hate ice cream, but I love Scoopsies."--Jolie
HAHA. This is awesome even if I did have to replay Zelda 100 times more than the average kid because you kept shutting it off. And love the Jolie quote!!!
ReplyDeleteJolie can't eat ice cream because she's in LA or because she can't eat dairy? If it's the latter, hello, *cough* chloemakemoreveganicecreamomgyouwouldbesogoodatitreallyyay. :)
ReplyDeleteBoth, Alicia! :) And I could really use some vegan suggestions. I have 10 flavors left and at least one of them is going to be vegan. Let me know if you have any ideas! :) Hope all is well in NY.
DeleteP.S. Would love to see you soon!
I think almost any non-vegan flavor can be made vegan easily. I prefer soy-based ice cream over coconut, hemp, or any other kind because I think it tastes most like dairy. There is a gelato place in Park Slope that does an amazing almond-milk based, almond-flavored gelato (tasted like marzipan!). Earl Grey would probably make a good vegan flavor, as would green tea with jasmine, coffee, caramel, dark chocolate... I dunno. Sometimes vegan ice cream can be disappointing because it's not very creative and bland and rarely has mix-ins a la Ben and Jerry's, so I bet you can come up with something exciting!
DeleteWould love to see you soon, too! All is well in NYC, hope you let me know the next time you'll be here!
