Living the Cream The King
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.
The King is labeled as "Banana ice cream, candied bacon, peanut butter swirls, and PB&J bars with grape jelly".
The banana base by Living the Cream uses is spectacular, unlike a normal banana-flavored base. Being a consumer who is not fond of fruity flavors this one was fantastic. When I took my first bite I was in awe of how pure and rich the banana shined. While the banana flavor is very straightforward forward it sets the flavor up to let the mix-ins shine.
Living the Cream is not shy when it comes to pooling swirls from side to side and top to bottom. His peanut butter swirl is thick in nature with the right amount of salt in the aftertaste. The candied bacon adds the right amount of salt and crisp texture to enhance this flavor. While an unrefined mix-in for ice cream it works in this combination like Salt & Straw pulled off with their Elvis flavor. The PB&J bars with grape jelly are spectacular. Thick, chewy, and oozing with grape jam. The grape jam helps balance the sweet and savory aspects of this pint.
This flavor will not be for everyone because bacon is a roll of the dice when it comes to a mix-in for ice cream. When you throw in savory aspects into a dessert such as ice cream it can be a mixed bag for feedback. This flavor combination has been around for a long time and it does work but the execution has to be on point.
