Buckwheat ice cream 2.0 is an unexpected and exquisite dessert that combines the traditions of Russian cuisine with culinary innovations. Its creation was inspired by the ancient Russian love for buckwheat, a nutritious and aromatic grain. Here it reveals its flavor in a new way: roasted to a nutty aroma, infused in milk and cream with honey and vanilla, then transformed into creamy ice cream. The addition of cream cheese gives the texture a velvety quality, while the buckwheat cookie crumble adds a crunchy note. This treat surprises with its deep, slightly caramel flavor, with subtle hints of buckwheat honey. It is perfect as a refined dessert accompanying a cup of tea or coffee, highlighting the richness of flavors in Russian gastronomy.
