Living the Cream Leftover Mash
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.
Leftover Mash is labeled as "Brown sugar ice cream, Raspberry crumb bars, PB-Oatmeal cookie dough, and marshmallow swirls".
The brown sugar graham ice cream is a unique hybrid of multiple flavors. The brown sugar graham element in this just works. The ice cream is rich, bold, and packs a subtle cinnamon flavoring in the aftertaste. The brown sugar is a dominating fore front flavor with the cinnamon that trickles in the back end to round out the ice cream base. It is very well down and has subtle graham cracker elements to it as well.
The marshmallow swirls are extremely thick, and luscious, and have a blistering rich flavor that pairs well with the graham cracker base. It was a smart move to do marshmallows as a swirl because mini marshmallows can become rock-hard when frozen in ice cream. The PB-Oatmeal Cookie dough is soft, chewy, and dense in peanut butter flavor. The extra hint of salt really helps amplify the flavor of the inclusion. The raspberry crumb bars are also superb. While these are just as soft as the cookie dough the raspberry filling is luscious and rich in flavor. Usually fruity flavors can get lost when frozen in ice cream and become artificial but this is not the case. How the mix-in is covered allows for the true potential of the flavor to shine.
This pint is a unique mix of flavors and inclusions that work extremely well together for being "leftover" and "mashed" together. The base, swirls, and mix-ins find a happy medium that congeal to provide a great combination of characteristics that work in unison. While this was a sleeper pint it did pique my interest the deeper I got into it.
