J.P. Licks, Boston’s favorite ice cream shop, and Grill 23, Boston’s premiere steakhouse, today announce a new collaboration to commemorate the restaurant’s 40th anniversary. Grill 23Coconut Cake Ice Cream transforms Grill 23’s delicious coconut cake into a mouth-watering ice cream flavor that will be available in all 17 J.P. Licks store locations for a limited time this summer. At Grill 23, Executive Pastry Chef Valerie Nin's Famous Coconut Cake is filled with a coconut custard and served with pineapple sherbet and coconut dulce de leche. For decades it has remained the most popular pick among repeat customers, a coveted way for guests to end their meal on a sweet note, and just one of the many examples of Grill 23's legendary take on steakhouse standards.
“We tasted one forkful of Grill 23’s famous Coconut Cake and knew we had to create an ice cream inspired by its incredible flavor,” says J.P. Licks founder and owner Vincent Petryk. “We translated this incomparable dish into creamy, coconut custard ice cream, blended with sweetened and toasted coconut and loaded with pieces of cake. When Chef Nin took her first spoonful of our new flavor, she knew we had landed on the perfect partnership”
Chef Nin shares, “I’m so excited to help celebrate 40 years of Grill 23 with the combination of two classic birthday —and Boston — foods, coconut cake, and JP Licks ice cream!”
