Living the Cream Tall, Dark, & Salted
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.
Tall, Dark, & Salted is labeled as "Salted Pretzel ice cream, Callebaut Dark Chocolate chip cookie dough, Caramel Swirls & Dark Chocolate Oreos."
The first bite of the salted pretzel-infused base is spectacular. The base is very smooth, and creamy, and has a mild salty flavor to it. There is a small hint of the vanilla-infused base with the dominant pretzel aftertaste. While this is not a flavor you typically see being made in the ice cream industry it leaves the door open for countless possibilities with mix-ins and additions to enhance the saltiness and flavor of an ice cream base.
The caramel swirls are salty, sweet, and thick. While it is not as thick as Living the Cream's marshmallow or peanut butter swirls its flavor pairs well with the pretzel ice cream. The dark chocolate Oreos are classic sandwich cookies with an extra hint of bitterness from the dark chocolate. Not to mention they hold up extremely well in the ice cream. Lastly, the Callebaut Dark chocolate chip cookie dough is soft, rich, and packed full of flavor and has an extra salty element to enhance the base. This goes hand in hand with the dark chocolate Oreos to enhance the sweet and salty pretzel base with a rich bitter compliment.
If you know me I love salt. Salt makes everything taste better and enhances the flavor of the ice cream. I was a big fan of these inclusions and how the runny and gooey caramel swirl laces everything together. This is one of the best pints from the recent haul I got from Living the Cream.
