Corn and ice cream might not be the most obvious combination, but that’s exactly what makes it worth trying. Sweet Graffiti’s new Buttered Corn Ice Cream Pops take a familiar ingredient and put a twist on it that’s so uniquely delicious, you’ll be wondering why it isn’t already everywhere.
Savory-Sweet Flavors With Deep Roots
Incorporating sweet corn into desserts is actually more common than you might think. Corn has been appearing in desserts from the Americas and Southeast Asia forever: in the Philippines’ mais con hielo, Appalachia’s corn pudding, Mexico’s elote-inspired paletas, Korea’s sweet corn ice cream, and so many more corn-infused confections. Together, they prove that this sweet and savory combo is popular around the world for a reason.
Sweet Graffiti’s Wide-Ranging Menu of Frozen Desserts
The Buttered Corn Pop is the most unexpected item on Sweet Graffiti’s menu, but it fits in beautifully among Chef Peixoto’s other globally-inspired frozen creations:
- Pandan-Coconut, Chocolate, and Almond Pop
- Elderflower-Strawberry Sorbet
- Dubai Sundae with pistachio and kataifi
Or if you’re seeking delicious simplicity that’ll cool you off in this heat, why not try the vanilla soft serve?
Incredible Non-Frozen Confections
The frozen menu is only part of Sweet Graffiti’s story. Dessert lovers will equally enjoy exploring the pastry and confections, which come in a range of summery flavors and a huge variety of forms.
Romina’s Bonbons, for instance, are available in over a dozen flavors that include Mango-Cardamom, Strawberry-Lychee, Brown Butter-Hazelnut, Café con Leche, and more. The French Butter Caramels and Dulce Mallomars are perfect for a treat or a thrilling gift.
There are also mouthwatering baked options, like the Parisian Flans (available in Passionfruit, Ube, and Strawberry-Rhubarb), and the Pad Thai Peanut Butter Cookie with lime and coconut plus more than a hint of spiciness from chili. They’re all exactly as surprising and exactly as good as they sound.
