From blueberry to sweet cream to avocado, Philly's flavor spectrum of soft-serve ice cream has expanded. The Inquirer went on a quest to learn how it's made.
, owner Thu Pham and chef Jacob Trinh have been rotating experimental flavors in and out to complement their condensed milk soft-serve, a mainstay at the Vietnamese cafe. A swirl of tropical pandan-coconut soft serve tops lychee black tea in the cafe’s latest float, but past flavors have included mocha, avocado, and honey-butter — inspired by a“It’s a process of learning every single time we try something new,” Pham said.
“We’ll rotate flavors, otherwise we’d need seven or eight machines,” said owner Dave Wheeler. He has four soft-serve machines, with room for eight flavors. Chocolate and vanilla are staples, of course, so the other cabinets get filled with a variety of alternatives: banana, orange or raspberry sherbet, no-sugar-added vanilla, pineapple Dole Whip , graham cracker, and more. Some flavors, like pumpkin, are seasonal.
”Sometimes you’ll have a whole family order all different flavors,” Adams said.

It could take little bit, especially with the newbies.”in Blackwood, N.J., which bills itself as “the King of Flavors.
“We’re able to actually flavor the ice cream at the point of contact when it comes out the spout, but it has to come out slower for that to happen,” said Richman’s co-owner Steve Matthews. “It’s probably three or four times the time to make a cone than it is for just a machine that’s coming out plain vanilla or chocolate.” That difference in time might mean longer lines, but it also means colder soft serve and a richer flavor.
