Bags of roasted coffee beans at Porto Rico Importing Co, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Our pal, Brady, has long expounded on the virtues of San Francisco ice cream shop, Humphry Slocombe, exclaiming that we have to vacation there just for the ice cream. Luckily, Mimi told us that they just published a compendium of their recipes, Humphry Slocumbe Ice Cream Book. They make the French style ice cream with an egg custard base, something which we haven’t done so far on this blog. We decided to use one of their recipes as a jumping off point for our own.
This ice cream tastes great with any classic doughnut. This marble cruller is from Peter Pan Bakery in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
The San Francisco based Blue Bottle Coffee opened a Brooklyn outpost in 2010. While Kira is not a ‘coffee person’, she will indulge in the extremely caffeinated delight that is their New Orleans style Iced Coffee. Humphry Slocombe collaborated with Blue Bottle to dream up a Vietnamese Coffee Ice Cream, which we use loosely as a starting point for our own New Orleans Coffee Ice Cream.
