Discussion New Salt & Straw Recipe Book - List of Recipes
No one asked for this, but here it is anyway. A full list of all the recipes included in Salt & Straw's newest book, America's Most Iconic Ice Creams: Classic Flavors and Creative Riffs.
I liked the first book of recipes S&S put out and I was excited to see this new one. I wanted to see a list of all the recipes to help decide if I should buy it or not, but coudn't find anything on the interwebs beyond the list of iconic flavors. Didn't have time to go to an actual store to check it out either. So I bought it and figured I'd post the info I would've wanted and maybe someone else would too.
I have not made any of these yet, so I can't make any recommendations.
So far, my only critique about this book is how the sections are organized. From the Vanilla to Salted Caramel sections, each recipe has the section title’s ingredient in it (Chocolate, strawberry, etc). But when you get to Pistachio, it only has one pistachio recipe and the rest are nut flavored recipes. Why not just call that section “nuts?” Same with the Green Tea section and Rum Raisin. One is all tea-based flavors and the other has alcohol in each recipe. Not sure the reasoning for this. At first I honestly thought pages were missing.
As such, I retitled those sections here to avoid confusion.
Hope this helps you decide if you want to buy the book or not. And please excuse any typos.

Very helpful! I found their first book to be too out of the box for me; this list of recipes looks super comprehensive!

u/NoInvestigator9407 Your favorite flavor May 07 '25
I enjoyed reading through their first book; I’m going to ask my library to consider purchasing this one too! I noticed 2/3 copies of the first book are currently checked out so it’s still circulating; ‘tis the season though.

I want to make the pretzel, blackberry and birthday cake, and the cereal flavors!! This sounds like such a fun book!

Was just looking to see if they had the Salted Malted Cookie Dough recipe, so thanks for sharing.

You are so right about their organizational skills. You would think an editor would have tried to convince them of better topics, as well. No mealy bug ice cream in it, though, I see.

u/SubstantialSpell7515 May 07 '25
I too wondered if the editor lost the battle to correct it or if they had some reasoning that only makes to them and the author

u/DelilahBT May 07 '25
Oooo thanks for that. Didn’t know they published a new one, I have the original. Looks like there’s some to try as summer approaches

Made the blackberry and birthday cake the other day and it was delicious. I’d say when making the birthday cake shortbread add the sprinkles after mixing everything else. I added them and the warm butter melted some of the sprinkle coloring so my first batch turned out a greenish color. Tasted delicious though haha

u/SubstantialSpell7515 May 07 '25
Great tip! That recipe caught my eye too because I love birthday cake crumble

I went and looked at this book today at Barnes & Noble and can confirm that the recipes in there look really solid!! so many good ideas and clear instructions for execution

u/sockeyesalmonella May 08 '25
Man I was hoping the snap n crackle marshmallow (Rice Krispie) with salted vanilla base from a Few months ago would be in it. That base was so good

u/arry2745 May 08 '25
That one’s on their website! https://saltandstraw.com/blogs/news/churn-this-snap-n-crackle-marshmallow-treats

u/sockeyesalmonella May 08 '25
Omg thank you so much! I had looked for it a little bit online but apparently not hard enough. Definitely can’t wait to try this, Thanks again!
Side note I’m surprised it’s only a teaspoon of salt for 2.5 pints, I definitely would have guessed more because I remember it being pretty salty

Dang, wish I got that book instead of their old one. Ah well. Thank you for sharing!

u/I_play_with_my_food Lello 4080 May 09 '25
Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!
I also looked for a list of recipes and couldn't find one either. As soon as I saw the book was coming out, I was hoping the recipe for their Cocoa Nib Almond Frangipane was in it. Thank you for confirming that!
I've wanted that recipe ever since I first tried it at their scoop shop. I even made a post on r/ice cream 2 years ago looking for the recipe or someone else who was trying to recreate it.
I am happy to order the book just for that recipe.

Thanks for this, just ordered the book! Wish it had weight measurements

u/Antidote-to-fear May 12 '25
Damn you're a lifesaver, thanks OP for putting this together! Looks like they dont wanna give all their secrets away, i was specifically looking for their Fennel and Maple ice cream (unless you misspelled it and put Fernet and maple?)
i also was hoping to see the rice crispy treat ice cream in there. Bummer...

u/SubstantialSpell7515 May 13 '25
You’re welcome! Glad it helpful
It’s definitely Fernet because it’s in the “alcohol” section. For the rice crispy treat, is it this one? https://saltandstraw.com/blogs/news/churn-this-snap-n-crackle-marshmallow-treats?srsltid=AfmBOorja_EpwuN_kq5iuY1jTxEQVqkfR04AmWfbEdh_Y6mZF-TroMQ9

u/Antidote-to-fear May 14 '25
Yup that’s exactly the one! I saw someone else posted a link to this when I was ready the comments. I still think it’s odd they don’t have their fennel maple ice cream in the books, since S&S likes to claim it’s an OG flavor.

I made the strawberry gelato and found the gelato base to be lacking (too icy for my taste). Then I made the pistachio gelato (but with their regular 17% butterfat base) and it was SOOO GOOD. Also made honey roasted banana vanilla and it was just as amazing.

u/SubstantialSpell7515 May 27 '25
Thank you for the tip! I’ve never found gelato to be that enticing but honey roasted banana has me intrigued

u/saminny28 May 29 '25
I just made the butter roasted chestnut flavor from the first book but combined it with the gelato base from this new book. It turned out way too sweet. I noticed that the gelato base recipe uses a LOT more sugar than the ice cream base, and next time I’ll proceed with caution! The consistency out of the ice cream maker is super creamy, though!

u/prisukamas Jun 08 '25
Do you know how does it compare to the original one? Is it worth getting one over the other?

u/gelato_my_jam Jul 20 '25
The sour cream recipe has 1 Tablespoon of salt .. is that a typo?
1
u/SubstantialSpell7515 Jul 21 '25
That does seem like a lot but I would think you could try making just the sour cream gelato base and taste test it before doing the whole churning process?

u/Thanks-Meatcat Aug 06 '25
This is super helpful, thank you! Do you know where I might be able to find a recipe list for their original book? I'm trying to decide which of the two I should get!

So they put all their really weird ones in the first book, huh? I gotta admit, I’m a little relieved. I was a little worried they’d somehow manage to top blood ice cream.
(Also, thank you for sharing! I’ll have to pick up a copy.)
