Black Walnut Ice Cream is a rare gem in today’s ice cream world, offering a flavor that’s less sweet and more complex than typical nut-based options like pecan or almond. The black walnuts have a bold, slightly bitter edge that sets them apart, making this a refreshing change from overly sugary desserts. Unlike Braum’s Butter Pecan, which leans buttery and sweet, this flavor is all about the walnuts’ natural intensity.
