Salt & Straw’s Thanksgiving-Inspired Ice Cream Flavors Return

Available for the month of November, Salt & Straw presents a five course Thanksgiving ice cream feast that reflects the multitude of courses enjoyed on Thanksgiving tables across the country, from rolls to casseroles, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pies, and, of course, turkey.

Co-founder and head ice cream maker Tyler Malek has turned these sweet and savory dishes into five unique ice creams, including the return of three beloved flavors along with two new ones.

Starting Friday, November 3rd in scoop shops and via nationwide shipping, the Thanksgiving Series is inspired by everyone’s favorite holiday ingredients, and is the perfect dessert option for group gatherings this month and help celebrate traditions with loved ones, from Thanksgiving to Friendsgiving and everything in between.

Salt & Straw Thanksgiving Ice Cream Flavors include:

Parker House Rolls with Salted Buttercream | Buttery, toasted King’s Hawaiian rolls are topped with flakey sea salt and folded into sweet salted butter ice cream.

Cheesy Potato Casserole | New to this year’s menu, every Thanksgiving menu needs a potato dish, and this simple, salted vanilla base is mixed with savory potato cheesecake and a crispy cornflake crumble.

Turkey Stuffing & Cranberry Sauce | Another new flavor this year is Thanksgiving dinner in ice cream form, with turkey stuffing made with baked brioche bread pudding and turkey sausage with black pepper, rosemary, sage, and thyme, laced with brown sugar, cinnamon, and tart cranberry sauce.

Mom’s Mango Pie | Inspired by a beloved family recipe from award-winning podcaster and musician Hrishikesh Hirway, Mom’s Mango Pie first debuted last year to huge acclaim, culminating in a feature on the recipe on CBS Sunday. Mango mawa, similar to a cooked-down milk dulce de leche, blended with tangy cream cheese and fluffy whipped cream, is combined with tangy cream cheese and fluffy whipped cream in a silky sweet curd, and combined with salty graham cracker crust, reflecting the diverse flavors of the Thanksgiving table.

Pumpkin & Gingersnap Pie (v) | This dairy free version of the quintessential Thanksgiving dessert is created by combining Vermont maple syrup, pumpkin pie filling, and a molasses gingersnap pie crust with coconut cream, which is spiked with sea salt and allspice.
