Sili ice cream

Salads, Dips, Sandwiches and Fermented Cold Dishes

Sili ice cream is a Filipino frozen dessert that pairs a sweet, creamy base with the heat of chili. According to the article it is made with labuyo chili, coconut milk, pureed strawberries and sugar, so the spice arrives alongside fruit and coconut rather than on its own. The flavor was invented in 2004 at the 1st Colonial Grill restaurant in Albay, a province of the Bicol region, and it has since grown into a popular and widely recognized flavor in the country. It is linked to and inspired by Bicolano regional cooking, which is known for serving spicy dishes cooked in coconut milk; sili ice cream takes that signature pairing of chili and coconut and turns it into a dessert. The same source lists sorbetes, ube ice cream and queso ice cream among related Filipino ice cream flavors.
