A high demand for non-dairy frozen desserts has inspired the creation of many inventive nut-based ice cream desserts but CUB is setting itself apart with its all-new pumpkin seed ice cream.
CUB is a restaurant where research, experimentation and sustainability meet to nourish people and at the same time, make a mark on the world that leaves it a better place. This new creation from the sustainable, zero-waste restaurant is served with an indulgent sauce—that is said to taste just like white chocolate—douglas fir oil, plus nuts and blackcurrants as texture-rich toppings.
As CUB notes, "The ice cream is totally vegan, eliminating the use of dairy by using oily nuts and seeds, in this case pumpkin seeds."
