Swap Those Vanilla Scoops for This Salty-Sweet Cheese Pimiento Ice Cream

(SPOT.ph) We may be in the second half of May (wasn't it just January yesterday??), but oh, is summer still very much in full swing. Hell, even in our homes we've had to keep our fans and ACs on full blast just to cope with the biting heat. But with the said heat also comes an excuse to cool off by way of ice cream, and if you're done with the usual vanillas and chocolates and rocky roads, we've got just the thing. Ice-cream purveyor Fog City Creamery recently added new flavors to their roster—let's just say they're far from your run-off-the-mill scoops—and these are available at their stall at Power Plant Mall.

Fog City Creamery's thinking outside of the box (er, the pint?) with their new ice cream flavors, which are just the thing to help you keep your cool in the summer heat! There's the Cheese Pimiento (P450/pint), for starters—a decidedly salty-sweet scoop that accurately delivers the flavors of its namesake, sharpness of the cheese and natural sweetness of the red peppers and all. Similarly sweet and savory is the Queso Mais (P450/pint), where the flavors of cheese and corn join forces for a dessert that might bring to mind classic cheese-topped maja blanca.

Still in the realm of Filipino-inspired numbers is the Mega Malunggay (P450/pint). This flavor highlights malunggay's earthiness—think matcha with an even more vegetal character. The Avocado (P450/pint) is a less-is-more number featuring the natural taste of the fruit in its rich, buttery glory. And for members of the kakanin club, don't miss the Suman Latik (P450/pint), which has chunks of chewy suman and gobs of latik swirled in for added depth.

Prefer a sophisticated scoop to treat your adult self? The Olive Oil (P420/pint), made with the extra-virgin stuff from Oli Medi from Aceites de las Heras, could very well be your gal. (We recommend letting your pint or scoop thaw a tad before diving in—the fruitiness of the olive oil seems to comes out best in a slightly warmer temperature.) Those who crave a subtle crunch would do well to give the Honey Butter Nut (P450/pint) a try, as it's got a generous amount of chopped walnuts strewn in for texture. Last but not the least is the Black Pink (P450/pint), perhaps the most conservative of the bunch, with crushed chocolate-sandwich cookies in a pink strawberry base.

These new flavors and more are available at their Power Plant Mall retail outlet, located on the Concourse level right in front of See's Candies. You can also opt to contact them at 0917-883-3344 or fogcitycreamery@gmail.com for delivery orders; selected flavors are also available on their website.
