Wattleseed?!

From Vosges, my favorite maker of interesting chocolate bars, now comes four brand new ice cream flavors:

The only one I've tried so far is the wattleseed with toasted salted macamadamia uts, which is delicious! I'd never heard of wattleseed before, but it's an Australian seed that's roasted and ground, then used in granolas and desserts. It has distinct flavors of coffee and hazelnut, with perhaps a whiff of chocolate in the background. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes coffee ice cream but can't handle the caffeine!

Of course, now I want to try the other three flavors!

I guess I'll try wattleseed, since I am allergic caffeine... wattleseed, hmmm, weird name...

Wattleseed is indeed caffeine-free with a flavor reminiscent of coffee, chocolate and hazelnut. If you want to know more, check out this site.

Wattleseed is also a slow release carbohydrate and very good in breads and pancakes and now comes as grounds, extract and in a paste for ease of application.

I've had the naga cookie before and it's really different but good. It's a bit odd eating a curry cookie, but they execute it so well that it's surprisingly yummy. I wonder what the ice cream would taste like.

I did a preliminary search for wattleseed grounds, and they're very expensive. $13 or $14 on Amazon for a small tin. Anyone have better luck elsewhere, or is it one of those products that you don't have to use a lot of anyway?

Where did you get the ice cream? I love their chocolate bars.
