Talenti Pumpkin Pie Gelato
Talenti Pumpkin Pie Gelato is labeled: "Made with real pumpkin, bits of piecrust, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, you might accidentally find yourself looking for our Pumpkin Pie gelato in the oven instead of your freezer.". Pumpkin season is here and this is one of the highest praised pumpkin grocery options you can get your hands on. How does it stack up against the other competitors such as Ben & Jerry's, Turkey Hill, Perry's and Graeters? Let us find out!
Talenti's Pumpkin base is spectacular. Right out of the get-go the pumpkin flavoring is pure. Think pumpkin puree you get right from a fresh jar of Libby's Pumpkin, but with the smooth and creamy gelato consistency. What really makes this product shine is the amount of pumpkin spice in each and every bite. Most pumpkin ice creams try to go overboard with the cinnamon inclusion, but Talenti's shines with nutmeg. The cinnamon and clove complement the heavy nutmeg spice.
The pie crust pieces are most noted in this pint, but they are on the small side. While the pieces are soft they still give you a crunchy aftertaste to go hand in hand with the soft gelato base. The brown sugar swirl can be hard to find as it would best be labeled as a sliver. You can notice small brown patches throughout the experience that bring an intensity sugary pop weaving throughout the entire pint. While this may not be the most consistent swirl, you will notice it the second it hits your spoon. I started to wonder if this was just integrated into the base since it was so hard to notice looking through the clear pint containers.
Overall I am very pleased with what Talenti brings to the table in this limited-edition flavor. I found this to be on the sweeter side for a pumpkin gelato, but that is what makes this unique from the rest of the pack. In my opinion, this is one of the brands strongest offerings they put out. Unfortunately this is only out during the fall season, so when you see it I highly suggest grabbing a few before they are gone for good.
