Lake Effect Artisan Ice Cream is Western New York's premier small batch artisan ice cream company. We create unique flavors that can't be found anywhere else. We partner with the remarkable amount of talent in our hometown to create amazing frozen creations with a Buffalo twist.
Paula's Glazed Donut is labeled as "In your hand is the union of two of Buffalo’s favorite treats into a tag team of deliciousness. Our rich glazed donut flavored ice cream with big chunks of Paula’s Donut glazed donut pieces." If you have ever had Paula's donuts in New York, you know what to expect. These are dense, delicious, and packed full of flavor. Lake Effect took one of the best donuts offered in buffalo and jammed into donut flavored ice cream. While I have never had "Donut" flavored ice cream before I know I will be in for a treat.
Upon opening the pint I was presented with a fine looking vanilla base with huge chunks of donuts. Lake effect is labeled premium ice cream, but gives me a gelato vibe with how soft and creamy the ice cream is. While the flavor is delicious it reminds you of the icing on a glazed donut with a purified vanilla flavor. I expected nothing less then something epic, and that is exactly what this flavor produced. It is not everyday you get donut flavored ice cream, especially from one of the best stores in Buffalo. If you are a donut fan give this base alone a crack, or go to the shop and sample it.
The consistency of the pint reminded me of Ample Hills with how the mix-ins were stuffed from top to bottom for a hand packed pint. The sheer size of the donuts are large chunks. The size resemblance could match the size of signature chocolate chips in Greater's pints. If I were to guess Lake Effect stuffed a full size donut into pieces throughout the base ice cream. The donuts provide a doughy and fresh texture with a luscious amount of glazed flavor.
If you love glazed donuts this is a pint to grab if you are in the New York area. The amount of flavor from the glazed frosting is delicious from first bite to last. The density and creaminess of the ice cream is a leap above Ben & Jerry's and Haagen Dazs. I would also state this is on par with Ample Hills & Graeters. The only difference is how creamy the texture is in every spoonful. For my first experience with Lake Effect I knew this was going to be good. Combine one of Buffalo's best donuts into ice cream, yeah you know that is a dessert made in heaven.
