There are matches made in heaven, and then there are matches made in a place that must be even better than heaven. In Miami, that match might be The Salty Donut and Salt & Straw. The trendy Miami doughnut shop and the Portland, Oregon-based ice cream maker (which opened shops in Wynwood and Coconut Grove in 2021), have announced their second collaboration. And we are ready to put on weight. Here are the ice cream flavors you’ll find in this collection: Boston Creme Donut: We are talking bourbon-caramelized brioche dough stuffed with cream and covered with a chocolate ganache stuffed in unreal vanilla cream custard. We just swooned. Death By Chocolate Cronut: We don’t even need to know what’s in this to eat it. But in case you do: it’s a chocolate custard-filled, chocolate frosting-topped, chocolate-dipped chocolate cronut in chocolate ice cream. Death never looked so good. Horchata Donut: Vanilla ice cream, glazed donuts soaked in horchata and Valrhona Caramelia chocolate, topped with torched cinnamon meringue. Ham + Jam Kolaches: This one kind of makes us lose our minds. The creators start making stock from Iberico ham to make a broth — kolaches are American Czech meat pastries, after all — then churn it into cream and blend with marionberry jam and salted vanilla cheesecake. If you order the pack — these flavors aren’t sold as singles — you’ll also get a bonus pint from Salt & Straw’s Berries menu, Wild Berry Slab Pie, in which berry pie filling twists through salted vanilla ice cream. The collection goes on sale Feb. 3 online and at the Miami-area Salt & Straw shops while supplies last. If last year is any indication, that won’t be long. If you miss out, though, you can always grab a pint of the unforgivably delicious The Salty Donut Guava + Cheese, for sale at the Miami stores. It will be a great consolation. The collaboration between The Salty donut shop and Salt & Straw ice cream is available only while supplies last.
