Caffe Panna Nutty Gingerbread Man
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.
Nutty Gingerbread Man is labeled as Piedmontese hazelnut & cocoa ice cream with cookie butter ganache, gingerbread cookie dough, and housemade chocolate-coated Biscoff
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 extra hint of cocoa gives the gingerbread a nice compliment to the nuttiness the hazelnut ice cream provides.
The cookie butter ganache is like cookie butter from Trader Joe's straight out of the jar swirled throughout the experience. Quality control is not lacking when it comes to swirls from Caffe Panna, and how they can contain such a gooey consistency is remarkable. The gingerbread cookie dough provides a complimenting spice to the base and has that usual dense, chewy, and brown sugar infused. The housemade chocolate-coated biscoff helps enhance all the elements in this ice cream. The amount of spice is balanced out by the chocolate covering.
This one is a bag full of tricks that want you to be treated. When Caffe Panna thinks outside the box to make unique and unrefined flavors they always strike gold. The only thing that may allude people away from his is the amount of gingerbread spice contained in all the inclusions and bases. Besides that, I loved every piece of this puzzle, and would gladly put it back together again.
