Good Humor is an ice cream company that produces many a tasty treat, and queen among them is the Strawberry Shortcake ice cream bar. Death & Co’s Brad Farran set out to reproduce this peerless desert, calling on genever for its malty cereal flavor, and strawberry liqueur for its candy-berry sweetness (you could use strawberry syrup instead, in a pinch).
Farran’s original recipe used both jonge and oude genever, with the latter making up a third of the total. We’ve tried it with just a jonge genever, too, and it’s perfectly tasty, although the aged stuff does indeed contribute to a more realistic interpretation of the ice cream bar.
