Taleggio Ice Cream

You have to hand it to the folks at Hook: not many people would conveive of - let alone attempt to make - taleggio ice cream. For starters, this is one of the more notoriously "stinky" cheeses - one that belongs firmly in what we affectionately refer to as the "daiper" family of cheeses. Secondly, making ice cream out of a substance that is already nearly 50% fat is sheer decadence. Nevertheless, they pulled it off. A deeply rich ice cream that smells like taleggio cheese and tastes like pure milk fat - imagine a buttermilk popcicle. They pair this opulent, dense frozen trasure with their uber-sweet ligonberry linzertorte. You get sweet, salty, sour, warm, cold, crunchy and creamy all in one bite. What's not to love?
