New Orleans Ice Cream Co Cafe Au Lait & Beignets
New Orleans Ice Cream Co details this pint as "The Famous Taste Of The Old New Orleans French Market, With Cold Brewed Coffee & The Toasty Flavor Of Scalded Milk, Loaded With Real Beignet Pieces, & Finished With A Sugary Swirl". Being a coffee lover I was very excited to dig into this pint. Not only does it contain one of my favorite beverages but it infuses the heart of New Orleans with Beignet's. This is one of their top selling flavors and it has been over 5+ years since I scooped it.
Upon popping the lid you are presented with a fine looking coffee base and small hints of the sugary swirl When I had my first bite I was taken by surprise. The cold brewed coffee is a mild tasting base that is nothing over the top. There is no bitterness to the coffee, just a creamy aftertaste of the scalded milk provided in the pint. This base is dense, has a very smooth texture, and tempers a bit faster then higher end premium ice cream. For those scared about the coffee base this resembles a light or blonde roast, so the flavor is mild and just enough to truly experience the taste of New Orleans cold brew coffee.
The mix-ins of the Scaled Milk, Real Beignet Pieces and Sugary Swirl help enhance this pint. What is a beignet? Very similar to a Cinnamon Bun but a donut with a New Orleans twist. The inclusion of the beignet mix-in are small chunks scattered throughout the pint with a very soft and chewy texture. The sugary swirl reminded me of Sam's Choice Coffee and Donut's ice cream swirl. Dense, sweet, thick, and luscious in flavor that left a lingering aftertaste. The scaled milk is spread throughout the pint and enhances the mild coffee base.
Overall this is a winner. New Orleans Ice Cream Company did a fantastic job on putting together quality ingredients to provide a tasty coffee dessert. What is coffee without a bit of sweetness and milk? New Orleans complimented the coffee base with a beignet donut dessert cut up and spread throughout the pint. The sweetness and softness provided by the dessert on top of a delicious thick, hard, and glazed swirl rounded this pint off. New Orleans Ice Cream Co. did a great job and there is a reason why people rave over this flavor.
