So, I had occasion to go to Rick's Rather Rich Ice Cream today. I have only one word:
Wow.
Ok, a few more words:
First, I did not have ice cream, but my friend did - she had the blueberry ice cream, and declared it "excellent".
What I did have was the "computer chip" sorbet. Now, this happens to be one of my favourite combinations - orange and chocolate, with small bits of chocolate chip thrown in. It is non-dairy and very low fat.
This stuff is *exquisite*!! The mouthfeel was _amazing_, particularly for being a sorbet - and the taste incredible. About half-way through the cup I realized what it reminded me of: it was like nothing more than eating a bowl of truffle filling (ganache) - both in flavour and texture. It was just absolutely wow. I bought a pound of it to take home. :-)
We'll be back.
Thanks to those of you who suggested this place!
Rick's Rather Rich Ice Cream is in the plaza at the corner of Charleston and Middlefield, in Palo Alto.
