Today is May 1, which means that Pastry Chef Christina Tosi (of Momofuku fame) rolled out new menus at all Momofuku Milk Bar locations. In addition to the return of new cake truffles (which are birthday cake, german chocolate jimbo cake and strawberry lemon cake), there happen to be five new soft-serve flavours.

In the East Village, it's cranberry limeade; yuzu citrus verbena is in the machines at the Chambers Hotel in midtown; the Carroll Gardens location has got Mandarin-orange creamsicle ice cream; the Upper West Side has a riff on fruit cocktail with peaches, pears, grapes, cherry, and more. Finally, the Williamsburg Milk Bar has huckleberry cheesecake, made with fruit compote and graham-cracker crumbs, which is the only one of the lot that can be served as a swirl. All flavors are available now through July 31.

If you don't find this news worthy information, I'm sorry that you had a rough childhood.

I fully understand that these truffles do not look delicious. I searched for many images, and even took some of my own and they all came up the same. These babies just don't photograph well. Which is unfortunate BECAUSE THEY ARE TASTY AS HELL. They're dense but not overwhelmingly dense, it's also nice that they're a normal and fun little size.

The best flavour I've tasted has to be the Apple Pie truffles. And I've never even tried apple pie. So wait, maybe that doesn't help my cause here since I don't even know what real apple pie is supposed to taste like... Well. Let's just say that I have tasted and enjoyed a lot of apple pie flavoured gum as well, so I think I know what I'm talking about.

Past flavours that have been offered:

Birthday Cake
Chocolate Malt
Chocolate Chip
Pineapple Upside Down Cake
Lemon Strawberry

Note that they do change the flavours every few months. I still can't decide if I like that they do that or not. Sure it's bold and always-changing, which I like in theory. But then again, I can't have the apple pie ones whenever I want them. So... I guess it's a tough call.

There are a few locations in New York and a new one in Toronto now as well.
