Ample Hills Nonna D's Oatmeal Lace (2019)

Ample Hills Nonna D's Oatmeal Lace is labeled as "Brown sugar cinnamon ice cream with Nonna's homemade oatmeal lace cookies". In the past, I have only had one great oatmeal based ice cream being Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk. While this is minimal on the ice cream market, more companies should invest in this type of mixture. Oatmeal cookies are a very popular selling cookie, not to mention go great in ice cream.

The base of the ice cream is labeled brown sugar cinnamon and after digging in, the brown sugar flavor is quite intense. I've had several brown-sugar bases but usually, it just adds enough to accent the flavoring, but this really tastes like brown sugar. As I continued my way down the pint I picked up a hefty dose of cinnamon in the aftertaste. The combination of brown sugar and cinnamon churned into a creamy, soft, and delicious ice cream reminded me of the filling of a brown sugar and cinnamon pop tart. The density of Ample Hills relies heavily on a high buttermilk fat content, and this comes to no surprise why the flavor continues to linger on your taste buds in each and every bite.

Nonna's Homemade Oatmeal lace cookies are the key aspect to this pint, and Ample Hills does not sell you short. As we know over the pints I have gone through with Ample Hills their consistency is key. Each pint has been packed to the brim from top to bottom in mix-ins. The number of oatmeal cookies in here did not disappoint. Each cookie mix-ins was crunchy, chewy, and absolutely delicious in every single bite. There is a reason why Ben & Jerry's discontinued their oatmeal cookie variation because they did not want to fork over the money to provide a quality mix-in. Ample Hills, on the other hand, will give you what you pay for.

Ample Hills thrives on quality ice cream and consistent mix-ins. Nonna D's Oatmeal Lace is nothing short of an oatmeal cookie paradise. If you were a fan of Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie Chunk this will surpass your expectations. Just like with Gooey Butter Cake & The Munchies this is another safe bet when placing an order with the company.
