Foraged some of the bark from the shagbark hickory tree. We cleaned, washed and toasted the bark. Then infuse it into milk and then make our soft serve ice cream base. It’s topped with a bourbon butterscotch and candied puff pastry that evokes kouign-amann.

Really fun ice cream. It was a balance and a lot of trial and error to get the flavor just right. Over steeped and the tannins took over. But with the perfect amount the vanillin in the wood came out and it makes the ice cream taste like natural cotton candy. Kind of mind blowing how much it tastes like cotton candy, actually. Will have this on my restaurants menu for a few months.
Justinthetrees, is that you?
I would never have thought of using bark in any form of cooking.
Looks fantastic!
