"A popular Southern California scoop-shop chain founded by food scientist Adrienne Borlongan, known for travel-inspired flavors that act as love letters to global ingredient combinations. The founder devotes an entire chapter to corn ice cream, championing the coconut-and-corn pairing she grew up with in Filipino desserts and highlighting a recipe that combines a silky coconut-cream base with a buttery corn jam swirled in to create bright yellow ribbons. The brand aims to normalize corn and other unconventional dessert flavors in the U.S., and Borlongan stresses that making great ice cream is a precise science—she recommends using stabilizers, careful temperature control, an online ice-cream calculator to balance fat, sugar, and water, and patience to achieve a smooth, small-crystal texture while keeping the process playful." - Kat Thompson
