Clementine's Gingerbread Love
Clementine's Gingerbread Love is a "Made from scratch, chocolate-covered gingerbread cookie pieces mixed into our creamy gingerbread ice cream. A full-flavored, festive favorite." It has been quite some time since I got a Clementine's shipment, but with the fall and winter lineup looking strong I had to place an order. What I admire most about Clementines is a very high buttermilk fat base (Around 18%) from grass fed and organic cows. Last year this was a highly praised seasonal flavor, so I was excited to give this a crack.
Right off the bat the gingerbread base is absolutely to die for. At first your taste buds are assaulted with a dense brown sugar and molasses flavor. Soon the aftertaste of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove start to creep on as you take down your first few bites What I enjoy so much about this base is how you get to taste each and every elements associated with gingerbread. Not once do you lose the taste of every single aspect associated with gingerbread. With how bold the base was, the creaminess of the thick ice cream really sets the tone for a great pint.
Onto the gingerbread mix-ins. These were decadent. If you can imagine a very moist gingerbread cake chunked up into ice cream that is exactly what you get. The quality of the add-ins were so fresh I had a hard time believing these were mixed into frozen ice cream. These mix-ins help amplify the cinnamon and nutmeg taste to provide a better balance of ginger flavors. The best part was the sheer amount that was provided in my pint. I lost count after scuffing down over a dozen chunks of gingerbread pieces. The consistency from top to bottom was on point which made way for a great experience.
My first pint of my Clementine's shipment left me off on a good start. A simple and basic flavor was executed to perfection. That is what I admire most about Clementine's is they just give you a high quality base and a superb mix-in. When a premium base meets a high caliber mix-in you have a match made in heaven. Since this was a top selling flavor last year, I am very happy I did get this one as it delivered on all fronts.
