Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache:
Salt & Straw Almond Brittle with Salted Ganache is "Salt & Straw's Grandma Malek's Almond Brittle recipe to the next level with our own house-made, perfectly soft, chocolatey ganache." For those who have never had almond brittle, it is sugar, corn syrup, butter, and crushed up almonds. This recipe is then baked and made into a very hard bark." If you know me Sweet & Salty is one of my favorite combinations.
The vanilla base from Salt & Straw is fantastic. I would be hard-pressed to tell you its not one of the best on the ice cream market. Sweet, packed full of flavor and has a premium density that is like no other. This is everything you could want in a good vanilla ice cream. Even with boulders of salted ganache and almond brittle it doesn't phase the quality of the base in each and every bite.
Salt and Straw makes all their mix-ins from scratch. For those who have never had peanut brittle or almond brittle, you are in for a surprise. Thinking this is ice cream you would imagine it would be rock hard. Wrong. Salt and Straw found a way to keep the buttery, sugary, and delicious mix-in to not break your jaw. Each bite was delicious and had the perfect flavor to accommodate the outstanding base. The chocolate ganache provides a soft, moist, and chewy compliment similar to the cake but with a firm texture. an everlasting flavor of dark chocolate fudge, and is extremely soft and moist. Absolutely stellar on both mix-ins.
This pint is a classic, and there is a reason why I continue to buy it. Breaching the top of the pint was a 1" shard of almond brittle, soon to be followed by loads more. The consistency of the mix-ins from Salt & Straw is never an issue as they are very strong on QC practice. Not only was the vanilla base great, everything else just followed suit to form a masterpiece. When all else fails to add an Almond Brittle to your order and experience greatness
