Ingredients: bacon fat, cannoli shells and chocolate chip ice cream with a whiskey mountain dew syrup and a peanut butter pretzel topping.
Inspiration: Described by the Little Baby’s team as the“kitchen sink” of flavors that frequent the P’unk Ave studio, their team was excited about the challenge of getting all of these ingredients into one flavor. This was not a challenge as, for obvious reasons, you cannot go wrong with mixing bacon and cannoli.
Process: To mix the bacon and cannoli into a single flavor experience, they took the bacon fat from the bacon that Pizza Brain (their flagship location’s neighbors) makes for their pizza’s and combined it with cannoli shells and chocolate chips.
For the topping, the Little Baby’s team was entertained by a story our team shared about a presentation gaff involving the soda Mountain Dew, which has been adopted as a favorite inside joke and team name within P’unk Ave. Despite a failed cocktail experiment our team attempted for celebrating a birthday, the Little Baby’s team successfully took on this challenge and created a sweet and delicious syrup made from a two-liter bottle of Mountain Dew reduced with sugar and mixed with a splash of Maker's Mark, for a little kick. To top off the topping, another favorite snack at P’unk Ave – crumbled a peanut butter pretzels – was sprinkled on top to complete an already delectable treat.
In the end, this experience was a great testament to our process working for many different types of projects and we’re excited to see what the next 10 years brings!
