Tried quite a few flavours at Monarchs & Milkweed and can conclude that the best flavour there is hazelnut. It’s rich but not overwhelming, and has the most luxurious mouthfeel. Unlike most hazelnut ice creams which tend to taste more like Nutella, it’s not as sweet because there’s no milk chocolate. Because of this, the roasted hazelnut flavour is very distinct.⠀

Other flavours I’ve tried didn’t wow me as much, as some tend to be more muted in flavour. I feel like they could be bolder - in particular the popular brown butter sage (would love more brown butter notes), and the sea salt jawa (could be a tad bit sweeter), but that’s my personal preference. Didn’t really enjoy the strawberry either as it tasted a bit sweet. If you like strong herby flavours, I found the mint cacao with actual mint leaves inside refreshing, although it’s not exactly the mint chocolate you’d look for. My conclusion is to just get the hazelnut.
