Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream
May 9th, 2008 by Dawn
We’d marked our calendar for tomorrow’s grand opening at Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream, but were worried that we’d miss it due to a conflict at 4. So when we found out this morning that their soft opening was today, we had an instant plan for tonight’s dessert. Since word hasn’t gotten out yet, the line was short, although there was a steady stream of curious customers the entire time we were there. Tomorrow will probably be another story.
As expected, we had a tough time choosing flavors. Since the scoops are small, we each picked two different flavors so that we could try four of them. They were also happy to provide samples (using compostable spoons – nice!). We finally settled on these flavors: Espresso Vivace coffee, balsamic strawberry, cardamom, and honey lavender. All were excellent, but my favorite was the balsamic strawberry. We also tried the rhubarb-orange topping, which was great.
I even tried a taste of the bubble gum ice cream. I still remember going to the ice cream parlor with my family when I was little, and I’d always order the bubble gum ice cream. My rationale was that it was like two desserts in one because even after everyone else had finished their ice cream, I would still have the bubble gum to chew. The sample tonight transported me straight back to those days.

I’m glad to see you’ve got something of this caliber in Seattle now. SF has an ice cream shop in Mission/Delores called Bi-Rite Creamery whose Ice cream is, shall we say, to die for. If you haven’t had their Salted Caramel yet then you haven’t lived. Seriously, fly down for just one scoop, you won’t regret it and it won’t be your last.

Thanks for the tip! We’ll have to visit when we come down your way.
I still haven’t tried the Salted Caramel at Molly Moon’s, but intend to. We didn’t try it on our first visit because we had a tub of salted butter caramel ice cream in our freezer. Troy, if you have an ice cream maker, you need to try this recipe. I swear it’s the best ice cream I’ve ever eaten.
