Ice Cream Review: Ben & Jerry’s “topped” Tiramisu
Ben & Jerry’s “Topped” Tiramisu is a great take on the classic Italian dessert. The extremely generous amount of mix-ins—chocolate ganache, espresso chunks, fudge swirl, and shortbread pieces—made for a decadent treat. It’s a very chocolatey interpretation of tiramisu, due largely to the extreme amount of fudge swirl.
Ice Cream Review: Coolhaus Campfire S’mores
Coolhaus Campfire S’mores is not a s’mores flavor because it lacks marshmallow and graham cracker mix-ins or flavors. The front pint blurb identifies the flavor as: “Vanilla marshmallow ice cream with chocolate squares and a graham marshmallow swirl.”
Ice Cream Review: Humphry Slocombe Honey Graham 7/10
Humphry Slocombe Honey Graham has a delicious premium base with a complex taste. The pint states it has a raw honey base, but no honey flavor was detected. Maybe the honey dissolved into the base and then became too subtle to detect.
Ice cream Review: Atomic Creamery Halvah (7/10)
Atomic Creamery’s Halvah is an unusual pint. Halvah is a Middle Eastern candy—a dry, crunchy sesame paste bar. I was expecting crunchy pieces of halvah in the base, but nope.
Ice Cream Review: Coolhaus Bananas Foster (7/10)
Coolhaus Bananas Foster is a competent ice cream pint interpretation of a classic dessert. The banana base is rich and creamy, and its flavor strong.
Ice Cream Review: Salt & Straw Hunk-a Chunka PB&B (6/10)
Salt & Straw’s Hunk-a Chunka PB&B had a promising flavor combination—banana, peanut butter, white chocolate, and marionberry jam. But only the jam delivered thrills—and that was limited to the top layer.
Ice Cream Review: Atomic Creamery Buckeye 9/10
Atomic Creamery’s Buckeye is peanut butter and chocolate heaven. The base is a sweet, creamy, bold peanut butter. So many brands pull their punches with a peanut butter base. Not Atomic.
Ice Cream Review: Salt & Straw Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake (9/10)
Salt & Straw’s Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake has a lot going on in its name—and in its pint. This one is amazing—simply loaded with mix-ins.
