Caffe Panna Pistachio S'mores
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.
Pistachio S'mores is labeled as "Sicilian pistachio ice cream, Van Leer milk chocolate chunks, fudgy brownies, housemade cocoa marshmallow puffs and buttery graham crunch."
As expected the Caffe Panna base is very rich, dense, and creamy. There is a slight earthly flavor that tickles your taste buds. This is not an overpowering flavor by any means but shines just enough to let the mix-ins do the talking. Similar to what was found in Pistachio Explosion the base provides a backend flavor to what the mix-ins provide in the pint.
The chocolate chunks are bursting with richness as expected from Van Leer milk. They have an extra density of flavor that gives over the Amano chocolate shards. The fudgy brownies are moist, dense, and extremely chewy. They hold their composure just right into a frozen dessert. The buttery graham crunch is a Panna staple. It provides a nice crunchy texture to the big picture with a nutty backend taste. The housemade cocoa marshmallow puffs have a soft chew to them that brings the classic S'more flavor to life. The sweetness of the marshmallow meets chocolate to give you the major aspect of a true S'mores dessert.
While some people may complain there was not enough Graham flavor like a true S'mores dessert the pistachio base inclusion was genius. While it is not overpowering by any means it sets the tone for how each element goes hand in hand to make an unrefined experience. This was my sleeper of the pack!
