Caffe Panna Slayride
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.
Slayride is labeled as Cream cheese vanilla bean ice cream with Oreo brittle, extra mini dark chocolate chips, and soft red velvet cake globs
The cream cheese ice cream took me by surprise. The base is creamy, rich, but has a density to it that flares with flavor. Cream cheese in nature isn't something that packs flavor, but the added sweetness and vanilla bean inclusion really set this one ablaze. I would state this base is sweet and slightly tart, but more sweet than tart. The tanginess of the cream cheese is present, but the last piece to the puzzle is the bean aftertaste from the elegant vanilla duo base. This one reminds me of a vanilla cheesecake base with the depth of the cream cheese.
The added Oreo Brittle has a nice bite to complement the dark chocolate chips. The brittle reminds me of crushed-up Oreo cookies with an extra crunchy texture. The mini dark chocolate chips are everywhere and in large abundance. The extra hint of bitter cocoa in each and every bite helps piggyback the chocolate tone from the oreo brittle. The soft red velvet cake globs are massive. Caffe Panna is never shy when putting cake or pie chunks into their ice cream. How Caffe Panna can find a happy medium with consistency and quality control, and the cake stays so fresh is mind-blowing.
I am a true Basic B at heart and the red velvet cake chunks stole the show. The hybrid cream cheese and the vanilla base are spectacular and the inclusion of the brittle and chocolate chips leaves this one loaded from top to bottom. For those who love a lot of chuankage in ice cream here is your golden ticket.
