Have you ever wondered what wasabi flavoured ice cream tastes like? or maybe saffron flavoured? or maybe an grapefruit- basil flavoured sorbet? these are flavours that I had never dreamed of until they were presented to me.
On the recommendation of good friends I traveled to the shuk in Jerusalem in search of the tiny boutique ice cream shop Mousseline. After going two times and finding it full to the point of no space I persisted and got there on a morning (my third try). i was lucky- the place was empty and as such the seller was able to tell me about all of the flavours and let me try them all.
Jerusalem is full of Italian style ice cream shops- most of which are excellent. Mousseline differs in that the skills that Orit Verdi uses to make the ice cream were acquired at the French ECOLE LENÔTRE cooking school.
I truly can’t say that I’ve ever had such good ice cream and sorbets. the Flavours were all fresh, sharp tasty and aromatic. each flavour was exactly what i had been looking for all of my life.
Mousselines flavours are off the beaten path and exquisite. A must taste for all ice cream and sorbet lovers.
They can be found at 6 Ha’eshkol St., Mahaneh Yehuda Market, Jerusalem.
sounds refreshing. I’ll make sure to go there next time I’m in Israel.
