Overview
- Red Circle Ice Cream in Houston brought back its crawfish flavor for spring and reports frequent sellouts.
- The scoop uses Cajun seasoning, butter, and garlic for a sweet-salty base and comes topped with a whole crawfish.
- Owner Nickey Ngo says the ice cream base is cooked with live crawfish to pull out flavor, though no crawfish meat is mixed in.
- Customers describe a creamy texture with mild heat, and the shop suggests using the crawfish shell as a spoon.
- The flavor tracks Gulf Coast crawfish season from late January through July and fits a wider trend of seafood-inspired desserts.
