Ample Hills Chocolate Milk & Cookies
Ample Hills Chocolate Milk & Cookies Is labeled as "Chocolate milk ice cream with pieces of all-natural Back to Nature sandwich creme cookies". This will be the first time I ever tried an Ample hills flavor, but with how many positive reviews there are I have high hopes. Ample hills is known for thick, tasty, and delicious mix-ins on top of a powerful base. Most of the reviews I have seen on Ample hills have full chunks of cookies, oatmeal cookies, or cake from Ooey Gooey Cake Batter. Lets see what this is all about!
Cracking into my first bite ever of Ample Hills the base is very light, creamy, and full of chocolate flavor. The Chocolate base is outstanding, but will not surpass the Jeni's Dark Chocolate that reigns supreme on the market. This seemed to remind me of a mix between Handel's and Graeters. The consistency on the other hand almost resembled that of a gelato. I was expecting a firmer/dense base, but this literally melted instantly on my spoon. Ample Hills is a pure milk chocolate base that reminded me of the outer layer of a Mr. Goodbar.
Onto the mix-ins offered in Chocolate Milk and Cookies which are the All-Natural Nature Sandwich Creme Cookies. After looking at previous reviews I thought I was going to experience Graeter's CnC like mix-ins. Pictures showed full chunks of oreo cookies that had me reminiscing of Ultimate Oreo from Chocolate Shoppe Ice cream. After a few bites I struck a few cookies. The cookies are thick and pack a decent flavor. The outer layer resembles a chocolate Oreo shell with a mediocre cream filling. The Cookie just does not taste as good as some others out there (Graeters/Chocolate Shoppe).
Ample Hills is off to a good start. While the ice cream took me by surprise on how light the consistency is, that was made up for in chunks of cookies from top to bottom. Half way through the pint it started to resemble 70% cookies and 30% milk chocolate ice cream. If you are a chocolate and cookie lover you will want this in your freezer instantly. Since AH is out of Brooklyn, those in the mid-west or west coast may have to purchase online. I would give it a crack after my first AH experience.
