Down the Aisles 2: April’s Fool… or not?

April 01, 2010 By: Mai Truong Category: California - The Bay Area, sweet snacks and desserts


Uh oh, it looks like ink.

The color is just screaming fake, real taro is faintly purple. My palm stains with indigo dye as I scoop the ice cream out of its cheap plastic tub. Sigh, I take a spoon. Divine. Coconut milk sweeps across the mouth. Nutty and grainy taro filters out all troubled thoughts. I thought taro yogurt with brownie bites at Yogurt Land was unbeatable, but this tops it. I read the ingredient list on the label.

No coconut milk.

Magnolia‘s 1.75-quart taro ice cream: $7.29.

So what would you choose, the real and tasty kind or the artificial and supertasty kind?

  4. How about make your own? I’ve played with taro a bit but I’ve never thought of making ice cream with it! I think I would rather use blackberries to get that beautiful color.

  5. I bet homemade would be sublime. I don’t have a kitchen so my hands are tied, but you should definitely try it and let me know how it goes. 🙂
