Haw Flakes Roselle Ice Cream 山楂餠洛神花雪糕

There is something absolutely sneaky and yet so satisfying about taking a childhood favorite food, a food most delicious and also most childishly fun to play with, and turn that food into a grown up version of itself!

Thus it is with cheeky pride that I present you with one of my favorite childhood candy treats,  haw flakes, a candy made from the hawthorn fruit, now transformed into Haw Flakes Roselle Ice Cream 山楂餠洛神花雪糕, a most elegantly fruity and tangy ice cream infused with the kiss of orange liqueur.   My oh my, some very grown up ice cream-liciousness!

Haw Flake Candy 山楂餅

You know how there are certain things that you loved when you were a little kid, things that to everyone else was just a 'meh' sort of thing, but to you (and you alone!) this thing was so cool and so special!  Well, the other day I stumbled on a package of Haw Flakes, or 山楂餅, and it was like deja vu right to that little kid state of mind.  Haw Flakes was one of my all time favorite treats when I was a still a wee lass!
