| Chocolate Fudge Brownie - Chocolate Ice Cream with Fudge Brownies |
Often
the priority in selecting flavors to review is novelty or rarity.
There is an urgency there as either its a flavor I've never had or a
flavor that's hard to find and I fear may be discontinued. Because of
this, I may have been neglecting some of the most popular and well-loved
flavors. Chocolate Fudge Brownie is one of those cases. Introduced
way back in 1986, it is in almost every store freezer case -- even in
the UK.
The
ingredient list is very short: a chocolate ice cream base with fudge
brownies mixed in. Putting brownies in ice cream might have been quite a
novelty back in the 80s but by today's standards it is a simple flavor.
Opening the pint, you see primarily chocolate base with some hints
of the brownies immersed below. Eating the pint you the encounter quite
a bit of brownie chunks. These brownie chunks provide a second dose of
chocolate flavor. The brownie mix-ins have been supplied by the
Greyston Bakery in Riverdale, New York since the flavor's inception and
these brownies are excellent. They manage to stay soft and chewy
despite being stored in a freezer and surrounded by ice cream. So good
are these brownies that they are often included in other flavors, but
this is the original brownie mix-in flavor.
Quite
a successful flavor and I can see why it is so popular. If you are in
the mood for chocolate and brownies are a form of chocolate that you
like then you probably already know this flavor. If not, you should
check it out.
