While there's no wrong time to enjoy ice cream, we want to focus on summer in this article; with its beautiful blooms, fruits, foods, and fun happenings, it's the perfect time to try something new. At K'Mich, we are always on the hunt for the latest in food (here), desserts (here & here), upcycling ideas (here & here), and fashion hacks (here) to share with you every season. 

"Ice cream always sounds like a good idea."

So, during our regular hunt, we came across this delicious and unique dessert on Pinterest that is a combination of, you guessed it, savory, tart, and sweet, but the twist was Mascarpone (?) is the main ingredient. We didn't know what Mascarpone was until we did a little research and realized it was this creamy decant cheese; imagine that. 

"Tomorrow, we can eat broccoli, but today 

is for ice cream." — Malory Hobson

At first, we were skeptical, but after reading a few recipes and looking at the photos, they are to die for. From blueberry bliss to balsamic roasted strawberry (what?) to chocolate (my fave), no churn hazelnut coffee (okay), and sour cherry. All these mouthed-watering flavors will make you want to try one or two, possibly three.

We are excited to share the TEN+ mouth-watering ice creams that made it on our list. Share in the comments the one that will make you want to try.
