PrintSugar Rush: Stogo's Red Velvet Spelt Ice Cream

For the most part, I stay away from tutti-fruit, rainbow colored sweets—you know, those too colorful for their own good sort of desserts. But at Stogo, the dairy free ice cream stop in the East Village, their spelt-based red velvet flavor is oddly intriguing. Soy-based ice cream, check. Coconut milk-based ice cream, check. But spelt-based ice cream? This was unusual.
Spelt's nutty, distinctive taste comes through most clearly in this "ice cream," overpowering the intended flavor, red velvet. Red velvet cake crumbs are speckled throughout the batter, staining the base a light pink, but those bits are whispers in a intensely spelt-flavored ice cream.
