A Finnish take on a universal favorite!
“Licorice ice cream is one of my absolute favorite desserts. I often request it for receptions and dinners, as it’s one of those unique and quirky things that leaves an impression and stays in peoples’ minds. I prefer Finnish Kouvola licorice bites for extra tastiness, but any licorice powder should do the trick.”
-Mikko Hautala, Ambassador of Finland
