Salt and Straw Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake
Salt & Straw Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake is labeled as "enamored with the malted, salted chocolate ice cream loaded up with bite-sized pieces of cupcakes frosted with chocolate ganache and soaked in coffee syrup to keep them extra gooey. Then we take things to a whole new level with handfuls of chocolate-coated potato chips and a generous ribbon of housemade caramel" . Salt and Straw made a small run in 2019 during the week of national ice cream day. The second it went live I put 3 in my cart to re-visit a masterpiece.
Right after your first bite you can tell how unique the base is. While S&S has a fantastic chocolate base they took it to another level with hints of a salty aftertaste.Take salted caramel candy and a premium chocolate ice cream infused together.. While this base was different, it was so tasty that it was surreal. Salt & Straw executed this one perfectly when dense ice cream meats a salty compliment, but that is not the only sweet and salty going on in this pint.
This flavor debuted in 2015 and soon rose to the top as a fan favorite flavor. If you ever had Salted Caramel Cupcake this contains similar mix-ins from that original flavor. The cupcakes pieces are extremely moist, fresh, but seemed off beat in flavor. For some reason these don't pack the same coffee flavor I remember scooping in 2017, but it could be an off-pint. Not only was the coffee off, but the amount of cupcake pieces were hard to find in my experience. The chocolate covered potato chips provide the essential sweet and salty compliment that go perfectly with the base and the cupcakes. The potato chips are crunchy on the outside, packing a ton of milk chocolate flavor, and the chips were much saltier then I had in 2017. Since the chips are coated there is no sogginess when biting into them. It is like eating fresh chips out of a bag, but coated with that fabulous chocolate glaze. Last but not least S&S Is known for impeccable swirls, and this caramel swirl hit the spot. The sheer sweetness of the gooey and luscious caramel flavor hits your taste buds right away and does not stop until the very last bite.
Folks, when Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip goes for sale on S&S webpage don't hesitate. It is hands down one of the best ice creams ever made in the industry. Luckily I snagged 3 pints, so I can stash a couple extra away for a rainy day. Hopefully the espresso flavor being off and the amount of cupcake pieces was just a one pint ordeal.
