ice cream | BUT AFRIKAN
Goko / iskhokho / ichikwangwa / kanzo ice cream.
A crunchy, toasty and caramely medley of cassava, maize and malted millet crisps, folded into mildly sweet ice cream base.
Goko, especially the kind from sweet porridge has always reminded me of sugar cones and so naturally we've ended up using the concept in so many ice cream variations over the years. Utilising all sorts of flours popular across the continent and the diaspora.
If people make sadza/ugali/nshima/eba from it, we've probably made goko or actual sugar cones from it. Much like wheat flour, maize flour is probably the most neutral and mild tasting of them all, while the rest offer great diversity of flavour, built into the flour by default
