Sriracha Ice Cream
Take a plain ice cream and give it new life with the addition of Sriracha, a spicy sauce that is usually reserved for Thai and Vietnamese cooking.
Sriracha sauce has a kick to it. So if hot foods aren’t for you, avoid Sriracha ice cream. For everyone else, you’re going to love this flavour. Get the initial delicious taste of vanilla ice cream with a surprise hit of heat soon after. A lot like this choc chilli ice cream which is also a must-try dessert.
If you don’t have any Sriracha then substitute with Tabasco sauce or just use a little ground chilli.
