Caffe Panna Minted Panna
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.
Minted Panna is labeled as "Panna peppermint ice cream, minty cookie chunks (fudge coated…you know the ones we mean), housemade Oreo ganache"
The peppermint base is thick, creamy, and luscious in flavor. If you are a fan of candy cane or peppermint in general this base will be heaven on a stick. The amount of sweetness is just right to satisfy your sweet tooth without it being too overpowering. Being someone who is not a big fan of mint or peppermint in general this was very enjoyable and refreshing.
The fudge-coated mint cookies remind me of Thin Mint girl scout cookies. The outer chocolate coating had a slightly bitter flavor due to the density of the chocolate. The mint on the inside is present but not overbearing. It strikes a happy medium for people like myself who are not huge mint fans. The Oreo ganache provides a thick, creamy, and bold silky ribbon that is laced throughout the pint. The cream and chocolate combo of flavors rips through the peppermint ice cream to pair with the fudge-coated cookies.
Mint was never my go-to, but when Caffe Panna makes unique flavors it really opens my mind to things outside my comfort zone. Due to the sheer amount of chocolate and mint contrast, it provides a well-balanced pint for those who are not top-tier mint fans.
