Crawfish ice cream is back at a Houston shop due to popular demand, and it won't last long
“Well, we’re in Texas!” said Nickey Ngo, owner of Red Circle Ice Cream, on Saturday, as a steady stream of customers visited the shop’s original location, at 6838 Ranchester Drive in southwest Houston.
This year, Ngo added, several customers have joked that their crawfish ice cream is an affordable alternative to the traditional crawfish boil experience.It’s a savory ice cream, with an initial umami-bomb burst that mellows into a very mild sweetness, followed by a pleasantly spicy kick. Notes of garlic, butter, cayenne, paprika and more can all be detected, with the spices adding flecks of texture to the silky scoop.
Drinks include Vietnamese coffee, Thai iced tea, and several flavors of lemonade and milkshakes, which can be dressed with chamoy or Tajin and bulked up with whipped cream and churro sticks.
