Our homage to Stagecoach Mary, the first African American woman to carry mail with a rifle and a shot gun is truly special. Our Caramel Stracciatella is layered with Bittersweet Dark Chocolate, our house made Ethiopian Pralines which emit a sweet start with a savory finish, and Texas whiskey caramel swirl.
Ode to our inspiration, Edmond Albius, who was an important figure in the cultivation of the vanilla bean, our rich, creamy and sweet, our vanilla custard is slow-cooked custard blended steeped with vanilla beans harvested from Reunion Island, or Ilse Bourbon, Edmond's birthplace.
Sallie Shadd, a freed slave who in the 1870’s achieved rock star status with her concoction of frozen cream, sugar, and strawberries. Dolly Madison was reportedly so impressed with Shadd’s strawberry ice cream that she served it at President James Madison’s second Inauguration Ball in 1813. Our strawberry custard is paired with poundcake, sweet strawberry compote and strawberry balsamic caramel sauce.
History tells us that African Americans used what they had, what they had access to, to create the ice cream indulgence known as Butter Pecan when Vanilla ice cream was off limits to them. Ours features roasted pecans and our house-made Butter Pecan Cookies that are folded into our Brown Butter base (which we think could be eaten all by itself).
Sweet Potato Pie is a traditional delicacy with a rich history that travels from the African fields, and forests of Peru to kitchens of the antebellum era. We swirled our sweet potato custard, a recipe which has been in our family for generations, into our classic egg custard. It's rich and decadent pie and ice cream all in one.
Warmed with brown butter, cloves and nutmeg and infused with Caribbean Dark Rum, our Butter Rum ice cream is a celebration of how rum became rum in the first place, and the genius of the enslaved who developed the rum making process of fermenting and distilling molasses.
