As part of its annual Chocolatier Ice Cream Collaboration for Valentine’s Day, Salt & Straw developed a series of unique ice frozen desserts with small-batch craft chocolatiers.
The 'Xocolatl de Davíd's Miso Bar' ice cream recreates the taste of Xocolatl de Davíd's limited-run Miso Bar with a formula that's part sweet white miso and part savory red miso. Together, Salt & Straw notes that both misos form a "wonderfully malty texture" that enhances the taste of the added miso fudge with its umami flavor.
As well as working with Xocolatl de Davíd, Salt & Straw also collaborated with Cocanú Chocolate, Alma Chocolate, Woodblock Chocolate and Lillie Belle Farms on a range of unforgettable Chocolatier Series desserts.
