Glacé Kansas City, MO
Wowwowowowow. I have not posted in a long time. Weeks ago I was in Kansas City before Madeline and I embarked on our Katy Trail adventure. As a Missourian, I have wanted to go to Glacé artisan ice cream for a long time now, even though I still maintain that St. Louis is the superior Missouri city. Glacé was opened by Christopher Elbow who is also a renowned chocolatier. Glacé offered some unique flavors, as well as some classics.
After much deliberation, I picked Salted Pretzel and Curry Cashew. I have thought about how delicious a curry ice cream would be for a long time and I was pumped to try some.
The Curry Cashew was awesome. It was spicy; not hot spicy, but flavorful spicy. The cream and the cashew added a fattiness and nuttiness to the flavor that rounded out the curry nicely. While the curry was flavorful and rich, it wasn't so strong that I couldn't taste the cream underneath or the cashew. And on that note, I will say that the cream Glacé uses is delicious. There were also a few very small pieces of cashew in my scoop.
I knew I wanted to order the Curry Cashew, and I wasn't sure what would go well with it. I thought the Salted Pretzel might, and the two did end up complimenting each other well. The salted pretzel tasted exactly like a salted pretzel. There were no pretzel chunks in there so I'm not sure how they did it. Maybe infused the cream with pretzels and added salt? I'm not sure but I loved this one. However, I think I would like some pretzel pieces in there to add some crunch.
While these were great bases, they could both use some texture or something to add some variety. They both earn 🍦🍦🍦/4 cones!

Colin got Chocolate Peanut Butter, Christopher Elbow Dark Chocolate, and Salted Pretzel. He is also a lovely hand model.
