Subject: BFM SUNDAY Chef J, Ice Cream and Mushrooms!
Hi Everyone!
Want to know more about our terrific new ice cream producer?
Brianna McCollough of Bri's Brookland Creamery told me this:
"I grew up on a farm in Tennessee, and both my parents and grandparents are multi-generational dairy farmers. We grew up churning ice cream the old-fashioned way, taking our time to get that delicious, homemade creamy flavor. So when I make the ice cream now, I craft it in small batches with that same idea in mind--using a slow, deliberate process with high-quality ingredients to create a premium product that folks keep coming back for."
"Chocolate brownie and cookies & cream tend to be the most popular flavors! But the coffee has been super popular lately! The chocolate brownie is my favorite, and folks love to hear about how I bake the brownies from scratch so that they're fresh and fudgy."
This week's flavors: Cold Brew Coffee made from Petworth's Lost Sox roastery, Chocolate Brownie, Brown Sugar Vanilla, Mint Chocolage Chunk, Cookies and Cream and Vegan Coconut Dark Chocolate Chunk. I was blown away by the Cold Brew Coffee when we had a tasting with Bri. What I love is that these are not super sweet ice creams. You taste the flavors and the milk, not the sugar first. The Brown Sugar Vanilla would love to be plated with Whisked chocolate chess or strawberry rhubarb pie. And if you are a coffee fiend, a scoop of Cold Brew Coffee in your favorite caffeine would be incredible.
And check our new Mushroom Producer, KING MUSHROOMS: From a small farm on the Eastern Shore of Maryland , David grows 8 types of mushrooms, along with a great Hungarian mushroom soup and mushroom grow kits. facebook.com/kingsmushroomfarm/
