ICYMI, Filipino-American social media star Bretman Rock now has an ice cream flavor inspired by his Pinoy roots.
Da Fruity Salad
A collaboration between Bretman Rock and American ice cream company Wanderlust Creamery, Da Fruity Salad is exactly what it sounds like — a new twist to a familiar Pinoy flavor and a holiday staple: the fruit salad.
Made of lentil milk base, pandan jellies, pineapple cherries, jackfruit sherbet, and Philippine mango jam, Da Fruity Salad is an ice cream flavor that’s both Filipino and colorful in celebration of Filipino-American Month in the US and Pride Month in Honolulu.
It’s also dairy-free since Bretman is lactose-intolerant.

Bretman and Wanderlust actually worked on three potential flavors inspired by three very Pinoy food items: fruit salad, yema, and iskrambol. Wanderlust asked Bretman to choose among the three, and Da Fruity Salad was crowned as Bretman Rock’s new ice cream. Unfortunately, the other two flavors are not yet available, but they might be in the future!

Bretman Rock serves (literally)
As a promotion for the collaboration, Bretman went on a “side mission” to serve customers at a Wanderlust Creamery branch. Of course, he just had to promote his very own Da Fruity Salad flavor.

A hilarious moment involved an unfortunate customer who just had to ask about a pumpkin spice flavor with Bretman at the counter. And an indignant Bretman couldn’t help himself: “Pumpkin spice? On Filipino-American month?! Get the f$&k out!” Just another day with Da Baddest.
