Living the Cream Black Forest Brownie
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 Forest Brownie is labeled as " Chocolate cake batter ice camera, Cherry jam swirls, Callebaut Dark Chocolate Stracciatella, and half-baked brownies."
The chocolate cake batter ice cream is bold and rich in flavor. There is a milk chocolate element that brings a strong aspect that surpasses what you would find in a normal chocolate ice cream. The density of the cocoa in this flavor gives no bitter aftertaste. Living The Cream did a great job masking any dullness associated with a high cocoa content. I always prefer milk chocolate due to the sweetness and luscious aspect of it, but this one was done really well and packs a sweet aftertaste due to the cake batter.
The cherry jam swirls are very unique. This is the first time I had this swirl from Living the Cream and it delivered. The cherry was extremely dense, tart, and had a nice zing of flavor. Normally fruity flavors can get very icy in ice cream, but this one holds its composure. The dark chocolate Callebaut stracciatella is broken-up chocolate shards that are laced throughout the pint. The quality of the chocolate really shines and provides a great compliment with a backend bitterness. The half-baked brownies are reminiscent of undercooked brownies that have an incredibly squishy and gooey center. This is my preference for brownies instead of the crispy outer edges.
I am usually not one for fruit flavors when it comes to swirls, but this combination is the perfect replica of a black forest cake. While it may not be my first choice when it comes to cake when you mix it into ice cream it just tastes that much better. If I were to nitpick I would like a bit more flavor in the base. The mix-ins were fantastic on this one!
