Haunting Halloween Ice Creams

Salt & Straw's Halloween Ice Cream Flavors Share Sensory Adventures

This Halloween ice cream collection offers something for everyone, including a colorful, vegan-friendly coconut blackberry sherbet with masa curd pudding and cornbread crumble.

The 2024 Halloween Series by Salt & Straw revives Essence of Ghost, a flavor last served in 2018. Touted as a "haunting combination of scotch-infused sherbet and dark chocolate ice cream," this returning flavor plays with smoky-sweet notes and offers a sensory adventure via ice cream.
