Technically, it’s a mind-blowing feat to pull this recipe off, and I get excited every time I eat a scoop. From there, we ground up and baked the leftover chickpeas into oatmeal moon pies that are folded into a chocolate coconut ice cream. Tyler: One of the coolest developments we worked on for this menu was an aquafaba marshmallow it’s a marshmallow made 100% vegan by replacing the egg whites with the liquid leftover from cooking chickpeas-crazy, right?

Tyler: These vegan recipes have been five years in the making, and, to be honest, they’re technically some of the most difficult flavors we’ve ever created. Teresa: What are the challenges in making good vegan ice cream? How is the process different than standard dairy-based ice cream? Kim and I started Salt & Straw with the hopes of being The Happiest Part of People’s day, and this new menu amplifies that power tenfold.

Rewriting our menu in such a significant way means we can offer the same innovative, indulgent, and thoughtfully delicious ice creams to more people in this world.
