Ample Hills Butter Pecan Brittle
Ample Hills Butter Pecan Brittle is labeled as "This handmade-from-scratch brown sugar ice cream is loaded with homemade pecan brittle." Before I bought my 6 pack from Ample Hills this flavor caught my eye. I have never had a brown sugar based ice cream before. I always skipped on Blondie Ambition or Rocking Blondies from Ben & Jerry. Point being the reviews were horrendous. After having a some stellar flavors from ample hills I had very high hopes for this one.
Upon opening this pint I was left dazzled with lots of mix-ins present on the surface of the ice cream. Not only that pecan brittle is rare in ice cream. After first bite you are engulfed by a very sweet, rich brown sugar ice cream base. After a few bites you tend to get an aftertaste of molasses with how strong the homemade brown sugar ice cream truly is. Ample hills still combines the incredibly smooth, creamy, and rich consistency as I have experienced in every pint so far on their line with a top notch ice cream. The quality of the homemade ice cream is what makes you consider just eating the base alone without even considering the mix-ins.
With a homemade brown sugar base comes an infused pint of homemade pecan brittle. As I have said before Ample Hills is very consistent with their mix-ins. From top to bottom you do not get skimped as you find chunks in almost every single bite. Pecan brittle is a small twist of peanut brittle which is loaded with hard toffee and pecan pieces. Usually Peanut Brittle is rock hard when made, but each and every single chunk of mix-ins does not break your jaw and offers a nutty, buttery, and sugary compliment.
The Homemade Brown Sugar ice cream and Pecan brittle really are a great one two combo. Not only is the flavor of the ice cream so rich you could eat it solo, the inclusion of the homemade pecan brittle is brilliant. Combine Sugar and butter and pecans with an already sweet and delicious base and you get a high quality offering from Ample Hills. The Thick and dense mix-ins on top of a bold ice cream base really separate this as a good flavor from Ample Hills.
