Little G's Sticky Bun
Little G's Sticky Bun is labeled as "Salted Caramel Ice cream with sticky bun chunks, candied pecans, and cream cheese frosting swirl." I have been burned in the past on a few pints with never getting a cream cheese swirl, so hopefully this will be redemption. Third time is a charm right? We all know Little G's candied pecans are awesome, lets see how her homemade sticky buns are!
The salted caramel ice cream is yet another new flavor brought in the summer pack. The richness and saltiness of the flavor is very strong. Some people claimed it was too salty, but to me I enjoyed the base. The base ice cream is so similar to the salted caramel swirl that was featured in Bangin' Baklava. Just replicate that swirl to an ice cream base and BAM that is what you get. This was the best part about the pint, now for the mix-ins.
Since it is labeled sticky buns, I was hoping these would be the highlight, but I was wrong. Dry, weak in flavor, and were very hard to chew. These were a total bust, as was my luck with he cream cheese frosting swirl. Maybe I have bad luck with Little G's but this is my 10th pint I have had without a swirl or mix-in present. This was virtually Salted Caramel Candied Pecan. The candied pecans as I rave over in each and every review have a sweet cinnamon sugar aftertaste to them, and really are the best nut mix-in she provides.
This was right on par with Baklava as being a huge letdown. I hate to give companies bad ratings, but when the highlight of the pint is dry , and your missing a swirl its a big time bummer. When anything is hand packed there can be a margin of error, it just seems my error and luck with mix-ins and swirls is much worse then the general ice cream community. Hopefully the other flavors off the summer pack can help revive my faith in the other flavors!
