It’s Springalmostsummer, the hybrid season I love most of all. You start being more brave when it comes to your clothing. Maybe only a light scarf today… and those canvas shoes. Birds singing their mating songs. Flowers and trees spreading their mesmerizing odour.
But most important of all: Ice cream parlours open up EVERYWHERE. And living in Berlin where everyone wants to be unique means that also the ice cream wants to be unique. You cannot get the same flavour at the ice cream shack next door.
I have conducted thorough and intense research on the ice cream offer available at numerous ice cream parlours. It’s a research in progress though and I might find additional flights that are worth to be added to the list. But for now, these are my favorites:
10 Semolina-Strawberry-Rhubarb
What’s so good about it: the texture of the semolina in combination with the somewhat liquid and fruity strawberry and rhubarb sauce
09 Arabian Nights (Sesame, Honey and some secret ingredient)
What’s so good about it: the taste actually reminds you of Arabian nights although you have never been there
08 Grandma’s Applepie
What’s so good about it: the combination of apple and cinnamon is an old classic. Add dough – perfect!
07 Yoghurt-Gooseberry
What’s so good about it: I love all yoghurt-fruit combinations but this one is somewhat extraordinary
06 Raspberry-Basil
What’s so good about it: herbs and fruits go extremely well together
05 Peanuts and Chocolate
What’s so good about it: peanuts and chocolate are a dream team. I prefer this ice cream on chilly summer days
04 Buttermilk-Passion Fruit
What’s so good about it: soft buttermilk and sour passion fruit make you happy 🙂
03 Kinder Chocolate
What’s so good about it: Kinder Chocolate says it all
02 Pistachio
What’s so good about it: I know, it’s not that special as you can get this one at most ice cream parlours but it’s my all time favorite. Simple as that
01 Strawberry-Mint
What’s so good about it: it’s fruity and refreshing and it’s impossible to get enough of it!
