For thousands of years ice-cream was reserved for the white and rich. Many had to settle for flavored snow. Fast-forward to today, ice cream is for everyone, no matter what class or race. As its consumers have multiplied, so have its flavors.

Trinidadian couple Shelly Marshall and Khalid Hamid are sharing some of these flavors through their Trini inspired ice cream shop, Island Pops. The couple specializes in ice pops and ice cream which highlight flavors from their country of origin, Trinidad. Their most popular being the white creamy soursop ice cream and pink sorbet made from sorrel flowers.
