Sweet Avenue Bakery graciously invited me over for their pre-Oscar vegan ice cream tasting hosted by Wheeler’s Frozen Desserts. Well worth the 4 mile commute to Rutherford. Emily and Ashley tried to make me guess their special flavors. It was tough and I failed miserably, but I could pick out some key ingredients.
I tried five different vegan ice creams and sorbets. I had the Peanut Butter, Black Russian (mystery flavor #1), Margarita Sorbet (mystery flavor #2), Chocolate and Chocolate Sorbet.
The best flavor, hands down, was the Peanut Butter. I could taste the peanut butter and the creamy vegan ice cream just made it melt together so nicely. I did not like the Chocolate because it had chunks of coconut, even though they assured me it did not. I liked the others, but my second favorite was the Black Russian.
Good news though, Wheeler’s is opening a storefront, so the next time you are in Boston, head over. It will be opening on Mass Ave near Huntington. Apparently this is a prime location.
Thank you to Dani and Jake and the always-spectacular crew of Sweet Ave and to Wheeler’s for providing the goodies.
