Living the Cream Monkey See Monkey Dough
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.
Monkey See Monkey Dough is labeled as "Banana ice cream, PB chocolate chip cookie dough, Oreo cookie swirls, and Chocolate chip cookie dough."
The banana base by Living the Cream 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.
The Oreo cookie swirls are massive in size, pooling from side to side, and have a very soft and gooey texture. The flavor of the swirl is like a mashed cream and cookie from an Oreo congealed into a liquid. I don't know how Living The Cream Did it but it's awesome. You get classic cookie dough from the original cookie inclusion, which tends to give the base a slight upgrade in flavoring. The dough itself is delicious, soft, and flavorful cookie dough chunks that will cover 3/4th of the pint. The chocolate cookie dough was really rich and had a strong flavor that meshed the regular cookie dough Oreo cookies and cream cookie dough. The addition of the peanut butter cookie dough helps amplify the chocolate and vanilla flavors from the other inclusions and the base.
Again I am not a huge fruity guy. But this works. I would never imagine bananas and Oreos going together, but the cookie dough inclusions make this really pop as you get a full cookie vibe. While it is a bit different to my liking I really enjoyed this one as an unrefined flavor in my pallet.
