Ice Cream Passport Program

Regardless of how differing the weather can be, it never ceases my obsession for ice cream. It could easily be freezing temperatures outside and I would still have the steady motivation to consume ice cream. By far, ice cream is my ultimate favorite dessert. Nothing seems to surpass the simplicity of the rich and creaminess that is evoked in this frozen dessert. I have discussed ice cream so many times; I have explained the difference in what actually defines the meaning of ice cream, the differing quality of ice cream in terms of air incorporation, eating ice cream for charity, and easy ice cream recipes to make at home.

The Oddfellows Ice Cream Company had started an innovative passport program as of last year in early October. And have continued this program as it had its second annual passport program that started last month and will conclude in February of 2018. Currently, Oddfellows Ice Cream Company has only two locations in Williamsburg and in the East Village but will opening a new location in Bushwick. Oddfellows became famous for its inventive flavors that differ from the traditional classic flavors of ice cream that is readily sold at other ice cream shops. This company explores unique ingredients and prepares artisan ice cream in-house. They create a high quality ice cream and even pasteurize their own ice cream bases in their kitchens. This tedious process allows them to control the depth complexity in their ice cream flavors to create more distinct flavoring and delectable textures for a balanced mouthfeel with this frozen treat.

More specifically, Oddfellows Ice Cream Company has a passport program in which they want to transport you to different countries in a variety of continents by way of their ice cream flavors. This year, they are only highlighting five continents instead of all seven. The past month, the featured continent was Asia and the featured continents following are North America for November, Europe for December, Australia for January, and South America for February. The ice cream flavors for Asia were pretty innovative in that it evoked the culture of Asia. The flavors included Malt Maitake Peanut, Coconut Sticky Rice, Jackfruit Sorbet, Lychee Shiso, Miso Cherry, and Duck Sausage. But the most inventive on the menu was the selection of ice cream dumpling which are on a rotating basis of differing flavors that included Jackfruit, Lychee, Taiwanese Pineapple Cake, Matcha, and Thai Iced Tea encased in a mochi shell, garnished with Matcha Powder and Sesame Seeds, served alongside a Salted Coconut Dipping Sauce.
