Living the Cream Black & Blueberry
Living the Cream is a small business out of Buffalo. The guy is churning up some masterpieces out of his own kitchen. I luckily found him off Instagram due to his love of eating America's finest ice cream. His homemade ice cream has a lot of praise due to the fact he makes everything from scratch.
Black & Blueberry is labeled as "Oreo ice cream, Blueberry swirls, Oreo Toffee, and Blueberry Poptarts"
Oreo ice cream is very tricky because you would have to provide the sweet cream of the sandwich cookie and the wafer into one element. Living The Cream's sweet cream tone is luscious, rich, and packed full of flavor. The base provides a thick and premium density that is right up there with some of the best in the game. Sweet Cream does not contain any eggs or vanilla. It is based on milk, heavy cream, sugar, and cream cheese. Even with the oreo compliment, the wafer cookie aspect takes the backseat. For folks who enjoy oreo milkshakes or an oreo McFlurry from McDonald's take that and enhance the thickness and quality by a large margin.
The blueberry swirls are pure, rich, and thick in texture. It does provide a nice gooey complement to the dense oreo ice cream. The blueberry pop tarts are great. I love frozen pop tarts and prefer the fruity-filled ones as it makes the flavor shine. The oreo toffee is like taking a true oreo and crusting it with an added crunch and texture. The only downside was the oreos did get soggy in this ice cream which was a letdown.
This is not a flavor that blew me away. Maybe because I am not the largest fan of fruity inclusions nor am I the largest fruit fan. The one thing I will say is the execution of the fruity swirl is impeccable. This is a great change of pace pint that I was pleased with when I scooped it, but the oreo quality control needs to be much better.
