Milkjam Creamery - Marshmallow Sunrise

Marshmallow Sunrise - Orange-colored Marshmallow Ice Cream

 

Today is a bonus flavor from the Minneapolis-based Milkjam Creamery.  It is called Marshmallow Sunrise.  It is not one of their regular menu flavors and it is not one of their monthly specials.  I asked what was in it and the scoop shop employee said "That's just marshmallow ice cream and food coloring".  I don't think I've had plain marshmallow ice cream before.  Let's see how it turns out.

Removing the lid, the base ice cream has a nice orange-ish yellow color.  Digging in, the texture is soft and creamy.  The marshmallow flavor is evident, but it is not overwhelming.  I suppose that was a good choice as eating marshmallow creme right out of the jar would not be appealing -- at least not for a full pint.  So, this is ice cream first and marshmallow flavor second.  It is like a sweet cream with a twist of marshmallow flavor.  I am able to eat the entire pint in one sitting.

This is a decent marshmallow-flavored ice cream.  It is just the right amount of marshmallow flavor.  It is a bit unusual that this is a 'surprise' extra flavor on their menu.  I wonder if they had plans for a more complex flavor with mix-ins and changed their mind.  This would make a decent base ice cream -- perhaps to accompany fresh fruit or something.
