Just in time for summer, Anna Sorge, owner of the beloved Grandview breakfast and lunch eatery Housewife, announced she’s taking another go at slinging cones. Last month, she officially relaunched her ice cream shop Truman General with a revitalized sense of excitement and a back pocket full of exciting new flavors.
The first flavor to return? Truman General’s most popular: the salted brown butter pecan.
“I make a brittle with whole pecans, maple syrup, brown sugar, butter, Maldon sea salt and vanilla,” says Sorge. “Then I crunch it all up and fold it into the custard base. People just freak out over it.”
In terms of seasonal offerings, with the ice cream’s custard base made of egg yolks, you can’t go wrong with mango and strawberry. But for the more adventurous folks, Sorge has just the selection.
“Right now I’m experimenting with a maple-honey mustard ice cream folded with a maple pretzel crunch,” Sorge says. “It’s pretty ridiculous.”
