Living the Cream Killer Cake
Living the Cream is a small business out of Buffalo. The guy is churning up some masterpieces out of his own kitchen. I luckily found him off Instagram due to his love of eating America's finest ice cream. His homemade ice cream has a lot of praise due to the fact he makes everything from scratch.
Killer Cake is labeled as "Chocolate cake batter ice cream, salted caramel swirls, half-baked brownies, and chocolate chip cookie dough."
The chocolate cake batter ice cream is bold and rich in flavor. There is a milk chocolate element that brings a strong aspect that surpasses what you would find in a normal chocolate ice cream. The density of the cocoa in this flavor gives no bitter aftertaste. Living The Cream did a great job masking any dullness associated with a high cocoa content. I always prefer milk chocolate due to the sweetness and luscious aspect of it, but this one was done really well and packs a sweet aftertaste due to the cake batter.
The half-baked brownies are reminiscent of undercooked brownies that have an incredibly squishy and gooey center. This is my preference for brownies instead of the crispy outer edges. The dough itself is delicious, soft, and flavorful cookie dough chunks that will cover 3/4th of the pint. The chocolate cookie dough was really rich and had a strong flavor that overpowered the regular cookie dough. The caramel swirls are salty, sweet, and thick. While it is not as thick as Living the Cream's marshmallow or peanut butter swirls its flavor pairs well with the chocolate cake batter ice cream.
While the cake batter isn't over the top in flavor it provides the luscious sweetness to really make it pop. The half baked brownies are a Living The Cream staple, and the cookie dough and caramel are home runs. I would like the base to provide a bit more flavor. His brownie batter base to me provides the density of a true chocolate base, just like his dark chocolate base has that extra bitterness of a high quality chocolate. All in all a great flavor.
