Halo Top Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream
Halo Top Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream is "Pumpkin Ice Cream with Pumpkin Pie Pieces". This is a limited edition item the company will bring out every fall. While I am not the biggest fan of low-calorie ice creams, the company decided to allow me to try this flavor on their behalf. Since I am a huge pumpkin fan I am curious to see how good this stacks up vs other real pumpkin ice creams.
With high protein ice creams, the base is very dense. You will need to let this sit for 10-15 minutes to temper before you bend your spoon. The texture is similar to vegan ice cream but once it does soften up has a great creamy consistency to it. I was expecting the taste of the base to be gummy, airy, and light but this was not the case. The taste was much better than Trader Joe's and Graeter's pumpkin offerings. The cinnamon and nutmeg spices are subtle, but still, give you enough flavor to replicate the seasonal dessert.
The pumpkin pie pieces are faint and very hard to find in your experience. While they are small they still provide a buttery soft texture that pairs with a dense ice cream. When you bite into the ice cream the base steals the show, but the mellow spices and spotty pie pieces provide an extra vanilla undertone. That sugary aspect tastes like a light whip cream, which is the perfect compliment to a real slice of pumpkin pie.
While this is a light ice cream Halo Top was very good with their execution. Halo Top Pumpkin Pie is simple on paper but the taste is great for 360 calories. The flavor is strong, so if you appreciate pumpkin this is an item you will want to grab before it is gone!
