This ice cream company is trying to make vegan ice cream mainstream–and really good
0
The beloved West Coast chain, known for crazy, creative flavors, will dedicate 20% of its menu going forward to plant-based options.
If you walked into one of Salt & Straw‘s 18 ice cream shops during the month of January, you would’ve seen a whole special menu dedicated to vegan flavors. There was a toasted coconut milk and cookies flavor, ribboned with chocolate ganache made from almond milk, and an Elvis Presley-inspired peanut butter, “bacon” (really, smoked coconut flakes), and banana combination. Another flavor featured a dead ringer for marshmallows that really were made from aquafaba–the “bean water” left over after boiling chickpeas, whipped into an ingredient resembling egg whites.
