Caffe Panna Best Damn Hazelnut
Caffe Panna's goal is to bring that same welcoming spirit and all-day accessibility to the heart of New York City, with an emphasis on delicious ice cream that marries elements of both Italian and American traditions.
Best Damn Hazelnut is labeled as " Piedmontese hazelnut ice cream, hazelnut chocolate ganache swirl, nutty shortbread crunch made with @bestdamncookies hazelnut linzers."
The Piedmontese Hazelnut ice cream is absolutely fantastic. Caffe Panna found a way to take a common nut-based flavor into a frozen dessert. Hazelnut is deeply nutty and has a lingering buttery taste in the backend. The base is creamy, super-premium, and has a sweet but balanced elegant rich flavor due to the purity of the ingredients.
The shortbread crunch is an unrefined Caffee Panna mix-in The combination of butter, sugar, shortbread cookies and salt is all that is needed to make this masterpiece. The extra hint of salt from the graham crunch amplifies the graham-infused marshmallow swirl to make it stand out even more. The Best Damn Cookies hazelnut linzers add an extra nutty flavor with a crunchy texture. The cookies have a nice texture and chew to them as they stay fresh in the ice cream. The hazelnut chocolate ganache swirl steals the show as is consistent from top to bottom. The chocolate flavor is bold, rich, and dense with the hazelnut flavor hitting the backend of your taste buds.
This is a flavor that took me by surprise and is the sleeper of the return pack to Goldbelly. This is the same base as found in Nocciola Buns, but with a far different profile of mix-ins. The crunch, cookies, and swirl are all fantastic elements that round off a unique flavor.
