Living the Cream August Burns Red Velvet
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.
August Burns Red Velvet is labeled as "Red velvet cake batter ice cream, cream cheese frosting swirls, red velvet brownies with white chocolate chips."
For those who do not know, Red velvet cake usually surfaces as a buttermilk cake with a lot of red food coloring in it to give it its distinctive color. The cake usually contains a touch of cocoa powder. Then the cake is layered with a cream cheese frosting. The red velvet base does taste exactly as you would expect. Very creamy, rich, and a dense consistency which Living The Cream brings to this dessert experience.
The cream cheese swirl provides the tangy element you would find plastering the top layer of a red velvet cake. The thickness of the swirl is amplified the further you dig down the pint. The thickness and richness of the swirl truly shine throughout this experience. The red velvet brownies with white chocolate chips are an unrefined mix in that works well. Livin The Cream undercooks his brownies so they stay soft, gooey, and have the proper texture when mixed into ice cream. The white chocolate chips help bring out the sweetness of the cream cheese swirl to compliment the pint as a whole.
August Burns Red lights it on the stage, and Living The Cream brings the heat in the kitchen. The collaborative flavor with the band not only is a hit, but it is a unique scoop since there are not a lot of red velvet based flavors on the market. The only nitpick I have is a bit more cocoa in the base to really bring out the true red velvet flavor to compliment the mix-ins and swirl.
