Ice cream with real cream. Brightens the tongue with infusions and multi sensory seasonal fruit additions. Makes you want more more more, and then it leaves you feeling mmmmmm soft, happy, like cool, crisp champagne bubbles.
Ici.
Don't wait for a formal invitation. Your favorite summer flavour? About to depart.
Please try the Raspberry ice cream. Ka-Pow Batman!
Soon.
I am so serious. It's unreal. Black Mission fig is light but a perfect cupmate with floral Honey. Crunchy, satisfying like the fig herself. A cream colored dress with black lingerie. A linen suit with hard leather shoes.
And the Chocolate tastes just as it should. Not so heavy it's hitting you over the head like a dark candy bar, no, this is an iced confection. Churned slowly. Ice molecules kneaded into something other than the hard cut squares they ought to be.
Sample the White Coffee. It's eggshell hue shouldn't fool you, this is the steam that rises off the first cup in early morning. Coffee without the bitter zing. Iced coffee without the punch. Beans without the stain.

Black mission fig makes amazing ice cream! I have not tried Ici, but I recently tried Laloo, which is made entirely with goat milk and is fantastic -- creamy, tangy, luxuriously earthy. I didn't try anything ordinary, like vanilla or chocolate, but went straight for the "weird," the black mission fig and the molasses tipsycake, which is basically molasses-flavored goat milk ice cream with oatmeal raisin cookies crumbled into it. Spectacular, both of them. I think this stuff is made on your coast, too, so check it out.
One good ice cream gush deserves another... :)

Um...I rather like being hit over the head with a dark bar...then dragged off by my hair. That was 74% hugging the strawberries in my b-day cake, thank you very much. If chocolate were meant to be diluted, it'd have pores.
