Graeter's Cheesecake Cookies & Cream
Graeter's Cheesecake Cookies & Cream is labeled as "Chunks of America’s favorite sandwich cookie, dunked into a cheesecake based ice cream, makes up our newest Bonus Flavor. "What I like about this flavor is Graeter's used a base that is not seen often on their line, but yet is one of their most famous baked goods. The next best thing was throwing in one of my favorite mix-ins off their line in sandwich cookies. If you know me I am a huge fan of stuffed cookies (like their Chip Wheelies). I was salivating when I heard this was released!
Graeter's decided to go to the drawing board and revisit their Cheesecake base from Cheesecrown. The cheesecake ice cream is creamy, thick, and dense in flavor. Small vibes of tanginess pop through the cream cheese which is what you would expect from a true cheesecake flavor. As I was eating my cone I was looking for an extra kick of sweetness that never came through. The boldness of the cheesecake will really catch your taste buds upon first bite. If you are a cheesecake connoisseur you will truly enjoy this ice cream.
For the cookie mix-ins you will be digging through full size sandwich cookies throughout your experience. Just from rotating my cone I saw chunks of cookies bulging from the ice cream. With 2 massive scoops packed on a sugar cone I nearly ate 4 full sized sandwich cookies. Bonus points to Graeters with how well the sweet cream center of the cookies provides a perfect compliment to a rich base.
The crunchy and delicious cookies meet a strong cheesecake base. This was a fantastic scoop ,but I give the slight edge to the original Cookies & Cream. There is just something about how perfect the sweet cream base meshes well with the sandwich cookies. In essence we took the base from Cheesecrown and it met the mix-ins from Cookies & Cream.
