How boring would that be? There was a time, not too very long ago, in fact, in which three ice cream flavors&#8211;vanilla, chocolate and strawberry&#8211;dominated the market. That might explain why even today when dairy diversity reigns, vanilla remains the most popular flavor of ice cream with more than a third of total sales (chocolate is a distant second).<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43364\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43364\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43364 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 720px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 720\/480;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria02.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria02.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 720w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria02-300x200.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria02.jpg?size=128x85&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 128w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria02.jpg?size=384x256&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria02.jpg?size=512x341&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 512w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria02.jpg?size=640x427&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 640w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43364\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flavors of the Day<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">According to the International Dairy Foods Association, Americans consume almost 22 pounds of ice cream per year, the world&#8217;s highest per capita consumption. The vast majority of ice cream and frozen dessert manufacturers across the fruited plain have been in business for more than fifty years (New Mexico-based <a href=\"http:\/\/www.creamland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Creamland<\/strong><\/a> has been in business since 1937) and many are still family-owned businesses. Similar to the recent influx of the craft beer industry, independent mom-and-pop craft ice cream makers have begun to make significant inroads into the ice cream market&#8211;both in terms of profitability and creativity. Increasingly, consumers are demonstrating that they are willing to pay more for more adventurous and unique flavors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">More adventurous and unique flavors are the bailiwick of La Lecheria New Mexico Craft Ice Cream which in June, 2017 was named by Thrillist as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thrillist.com\/eat\/nation\/best-ice-cream-shops-every-state\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>best ice cream shop<\/strong><\/a> in the Land of Enchantment&#8211;despite being in business for less than a full year. Thrillist noted that &#8220;<em>this being New Mexico, you better believe there are chilis occasionally involved, as brown sugar red chili and (of course) green chile both figure into the seasonal flavor rotation alongside menu stalwarts like sea salt chocolate.

Invariably, even the most intrepid of judges tend to look askance at any chef who dares serve them bass- (or Andouille sausage-, cow\u2019s cheek-, asparagus-, giant eel- or any of several other secret ingredients) flavored ice cream. Secret ingredient-based ice cream has been the death knell of many an Iron Chef competitor. So, why would any chef wanting to engender enthusiastic approval serve ice cream with an exotic (to put it mildly) flavor profile?<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43366\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43366\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43366 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 650px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 650\/654;vertical-align: text-top; margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; border: 4px solid black;\" data-src=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"654\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 650w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04-150x150.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 150w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04-298x300.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 298w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04-80x80.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 80w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04-90x90.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 90w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04-75x75.jpg?lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 75w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04.jpg?size=384x386&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 384w, https:\/\/b4385483.smushcdn.com\/4385483\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/LaLecheria04.jpg?size=512x515&lossy=2&strip=1&webp=1 512w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43366\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two Scoops: Green Chile and Red Chile-Apricot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Chef Coleman\u2019s goal is to take exotic and unique flavor profiles and make them delicious. The apparent secret is to tame but not obfuscate savory elements; to accentuate the elements which make ice cream a sweet rather than savory confection without masking those savory elements. After sampling just four of the many ice cream flavors he\u2019s concocted, we\u2019re willing to bet this ingenious chef can make even bass-flavored ice cream delicious. Chef Coleman developed his passion for creating ice cream in adventurous flavors while running his popular Santa Fe gastropub <strong>Fire &amp; Hops<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">For this unabashedly proud native New Mexican, the siren\u2019s call at any restaurant is chile in both its red and green instantiations. There\u2019s nothing more disappointing than when a restaurant fails to accentuate both chile\u2019s incendiary properties and its incomparable roasted flavor. La Lecheria doesn\u2019t disappoint in either aspect\u2014not in the least. In fact, both the <em><strong>brown sugar red chile <\/strong><\/em>and the <strong><em>green chile flavored ice cream<\/em> <\/strong>have more back-of-the-throat pleasing piquancy than the enchiladas at some New Mexican food restaurants. Both are creamy and rich with a nice mouth-feel and just enough sugar. More importantly, they\u2019re delicious exemplars of the fact that chile improves everything with which it comes into contact<em>.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">Unfortunately buttered popcorn flavored ice cream wasn\u2019t available during our inaugural visit, but there\u2019s no way you could call my Kim\u2019s choices\u2014<em><strong>chocolate-sea salt<\/strong> <\/em>and a <em><strong>Rosemary-accented vanilla ice cream<\/strong><\/em>. She loved the boldness of the chocolate-sea salt pairing, a terrific departure from the de rigueur caramel-sea salt combination. Though most assuredly dark chocolate, the sea salt\u2019s influence is teasingly, tantalizingly balanced; it\u2019s just enough. When fragrant, herbaceous notes meet ice cream, one of two things can happen. The first is that the herbs can overwhelm the ice cream. The second is a bright, fragrant and fresh marriage made in heaven. Such was the case with La Lecheria\u2019s rosemary accented ice cream. What a wonderful revelation!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Verdana;\">La Lecheria features a few flavors that\u2019ll have a consistent presence on the menu, but adventurous diners will frequent this outstanding purveyor of imaginative ice cream for those unique and special flavors.
